+ Note that "property" here is a generic term - any aspect of a component can be considered a property,
+ as long as some property handler is able to describe this aspect in a property-like way.</p>
+
+ <p>The basic idea is that one facet of the inspected component is represented by a single line
+ of controls: A label, an input control, and optionally one or two buttons which, when pressed,
+ trigger additional user interaction (e.g. a more sophisticated dialog to enter a property value).</p>
+
+ <p>Additionally, property lines can be grouped into different categories. A usual implementation
+ of such categories would be tab pages, but other implementations are possible, too.</p>
+
+ <p>Even more, the inspector can optionally display a help section at the bottom of its
+ window, which can display arbitrary (context-sensitive) help texts.</p>
+
+ <p>An ObjectInspector needs one or more property handlers which describe
+ the facets of an inspected component - without such handlers, the inspector window will simply
+ stay empty.</p>
+
+ <p>The property handlers, as well as more information about the layout of the inspector,
+ are provided by an inspector model, which has to be implemented by the user of the inspector.</p>

+ was created already contains such a value, it is not overwritten. Only if it doesn't, the inspector
+ will add an own value - which contains the inspector's main window - to the context when creating
