public abstract class AbstractLaunchTask

extends LaunchTask

This abstract class represents a LaunchTask with an direct association to an ApplicationFrame. An AbstractLaunchTask defines an entry point for subclasses to modify the created item in the run method. The idea is that subclasses execute their run method and then pass the created object to the postCreate method to allow for modifications of a previously created item.
