Pandora
Class GeneratorFrame

public class GeneratorFrame

extends javax.swing.JFrame

This is the main class of the Pandora program.

To add a new model in the generator, one has to add some code in this class. Specifically the model name should be added at the String[] variable called modelNames ( this causes the model name to be added to the JList models from which we select which model we want to use. After creating a class that will be the implementation of the desired model, the object of the class should be declared at the end of the GeneratorFrame variables section. Finaly add the model at getSelectedModel function like all the other models are added.
