The GUI library consists of several utility and factory classes that simplify the creation of GUI elements. Using a single factory class the behavior of GUI elements can be controlled easily.
Example: A result of an evaluation could be that users get confused by floatable toolbars. If every
component has its own method to create a toolbar it's hard to maintain and more complicated to
achieve to set the states of all toolbars "floating around" to be fixed to a window border.
Having a single factory method ToolBarFactory.createToolBar()
all toolbars can be
set to be fixed with a single change.
An extension to this GUI library will be the creation of a CONCERT Look and Feel that supports the visualisation of general cooperative concepts.
