IOverridingEditor (EASy-Producer Documentation API)

All Superinterfaces:

IRefreshableEditor
```
public interface IOverridingEditor
extends IRefreshableEditor
```
Declares the interface of an overriding editor in ConfigurationTableEditorFactory that can be wrapped into a GUIVariable. Actually, this interface repeats some methods from GUIVariable declaring getValueAssignment(Object) as public rather than protected.
