Resource Renderers
A resource renderer displays a single resource (file, folder, or link) on the screen. It groups the various elements of a resource and generates the screen display according to defined parameters. The elements of a resource include symbols and texts, for example.
Resource renderers are based on Java classes, which you can configure extensively using resource renderer settings . You specify the resource renderer settings in the definition of a layout set .
