public final class AboutDialog extends JDialog implements KeyEventDispatcher
Provides a reusable and consistent AboutDialog that can be used in any application. By specifying an AboutInfo instance customized for your application, a standard AboutDialog can be shown without having to write any code for it in your application. See also AboutPanel if you'd rather embed a JPanel somewhere instead of popping up a dialog.
