```
public abstract class AbstractMatcherEditor<E>
extends AbstractMatcherEditorListenerSupport<E>
```
Basic building block for MatcherEditor implementations that handles the details of dealing with registered MatcherEditor.Listeners. All MatcherEditor implementations should extend this class for its convenience methods.
Extending classes can fire events to registered listeners using the "fire" methods:
