StateManager (McIDAS-V 1.7 Developer Documentation)

java.lang.Object
- ucar.unidata.ui.WindowHolder
- - ucar.unidata.idv.IdvManager
  - - ucar.unidata.idv.StateManager
    - - edu.wisc.ssec.mcidasv.StateManager

All Implemented Interfaces:

Constants, java.awt.event.ActionListener, java.util.EventListener, javax.swing.event.HyperlinkListener, ucar.unidata.idv.IdvConstants
```
public class StateManager
extends ucar.unidata.idv.StateManager
implements Constants, javax.swing.event.HyperlinkListener
```
This class is used to initialize McIDAS-V.
The initialization process includes creating an "object store" (for preferences), user-modifiable settings, and so on.

McIDAS-V uses this class to perform pretty much all version-check operations.
