public abstract class ListEditor
extends FieldEditor

An abstract field editor that manages a list of input values. The editor displays a list containing the values, buttons for adding and removing values, and Up and Down buttons to adjust the order of elements in the list.

Subclasses must implement the parseString, createList, and createNewInputObject framework methods.

This is a copy of the JFace ListEditor with the exception that uppercasing has been added, as well as list item limit.
