public class MoMLApplication
extends ConfigurationApplication

An application that sets the look and feel to the native look and feel and then reads one or more files specified on the command line, or instantiates one or more Java classes specified by the -class option.

This class sets the look and feel of the user interface (UI) to the native look and feel. Thus, this class invokes Java's user interface code which means that this class should be run in an environment that has a display. To run in a environment that has no display, see the Configuration parent class.

For complete usage, see the Configuration parent class.
