The classes in this package provide a means for displaying textual information in an output window. Typically this would go to the NetBeans Output window, but it may go to the console, or no where at all.

The OutputWriter implementations are accessed via the OutputProvider static class. To provide custom implementations of OutputWriter, you must install your implementation as a "service". See the NetBeans OpenAPIs documentation under "Services & Lookup" to learn how this is done.
