public interface GriffonArtifact
extends ThreadingHandler, MVCHandler, ResourceHandler

Identifies an object as a Griffon artifact.

Griffon artifacts are usually placed under the special "griffon-app" directory that every application has. They are also grouped together in in a subdirectory that clearly identifies their nature. For example "griffon-app/controllers" contains all Controller artifacts.

Implementing this interface for a custom artifact definition is highly recommended but not enforced.

2.0.0
