/**
 * Abstract base class for all field editors.
 * <p>
 * A field editor presents the value of a preference to the end user. The value
 * is loaded from a preference store; if modified by the end user, the value is
 * validated and eventually stored back to the preference store. A field editor
 * reports an event when the value, or the validity of the value, changes.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Field editors should be used in conjunction with a field editor preference
 * page (<code>FieldEditorPreferencePage</code>) which coordinates everything
 * and provides the message line which display messages emanating from the
 * editor.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This package contains ready-to-use field editors for various types of
 * preferences:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>BooleanFieldEditor</code> - booleans</li>
 * <li><code>IntegerFieldEditor</code> - integers</li>
 * <li><code>StringFieldEditor</code> - text strings</li>
 * <li><code>RadioGroupFieldEditor</code> - enumerations</li>
 * <li><code>ColorFieldEditor</code> - RGB colors</li>
 * <li><code>FontFieldEditor</code> - fonts</li>
 * <li><code>DirectoryFieldEditor</code> - directories</li>
 * <li><code>FileFieldEditor</code> - files</li>
 * <li><code>PathEditor</code> - paths</li>
 * </ul>
