        Creates an AbstractUndoableEdit which defaults hasBeenDone and alive to true.
    • Method Detail

      • die

        public void die()
        Sets alive to false. Note that this is a one way operation; dead edits cannot be resurrected. Sending undo or redo to a dead edit results in an exception being thrown.

        Typically an edit is killed when it is consolidated by another edit's addEdit or replaceEdit method, or when it is dequeued from an UndoManager.
