Package uk.ac.starlink.connect Description

Classes related to persistent connections to remote services. Currently the main service provided by the connections defined here is access to some kind of filesystem which is modelled as a simple tree structure (see Node and subinterfaces).

Connection implementations are supplied by classes in other packages; the ConnectorManager class is the place to find out what implementations are available in this JVM.
