Class Explicit<T>

  • public class Explicit<T>
extends Object
    Holds a value that is either: a) set implicitly e.g. through some default value b) set explicitly e.g. from a user selection When merging conflicting configuration settings such as field mapping settings it is preferable to preserve an explicit choice rather than a choice made only made implicitly by defaults.
