public abstract class BaseJdmpviewCommand extends BaseCommand
This the base command for all jdmpview commands. It ensures consistent behaviour with the legacy commands without breaking the generic command encapsulation. There are a number of methods which allow DTFJ objects to be consistently displayed across different plugins e.g. getClassInfo(). Where the method name starts with getXYZ the output will be returned for further processing, however where the method starts with writeXYZ then the output is written immediately to the command's print stream.
