public class FileEditorTableauFactory
extends TableauFactory

This class is an attribute that creates an editor to edit a specified file or URL given by an attribute in the container of this attribute. It is similar to TextEditorTableauFactory, but instead of editing an attribute in the container, it edits a file or URL referenced by that attribute. The file or URL must be given in the container by an instance of FileParameter. If the file or URL does not exist, then it attempts to create the file and open it.
