- Method Detail
  - create
```
AbstractCockpitComponentDefinition create(CockpitComponentInfo info)
```
    Creates a component definition out of information about it. Information itself may be altered, if any new meta data becomes available in process of creating component definition (yet none of already existing information should be lost).
    
    Definition may not be yet initialized. After all definitions are created, they should be additionally initialized by calling factory's initialize(CockpitComponentInfo, AbstractCockpitComponentDefinition) method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    info - information about component
    
    Returns:
    
    definition created
  - initialize
```
default void initialize(CockpitComponentInfo info,
                        AbstractCockpitComponentDefinition definition)
```
    Initializes component previously created by create(CockpitComponentInfo) method.
    
    Method should not be called before all required definitions were created.
    
    Parameters:
    
    info - information which was base for component to be initialized
    
    definition - component definition to be initialized
