Interface MessageFunction<M>

Type Parameters:
M - the message class type
public interface MessageFunction<M>
Function interface that is used to bind a property of an object (e.g. a SWT control) to a field of a Messages instance. This interface is intended to be used with implementations that use Java 8, so it is possible to operate using method references and lambdas.

This is a functional interface whose functional method is apply(M).

When updating to Java 8 this interface can be removed and replaced with the general java.util.function.Function
