javax.swing.text.Position

Represents a location within a document. It is intended to abstract away implementation details of the document and enable specification of positions within the document that are capable of tracking of change as the document is edited.

A {@code Position} object points at a location between two characters.As the surrounding content is altered, the {@code Position} objectadjusts its offset automatically to reflect the changes. If content is inserted or removed before the {@code Position} object's location, then the{@code Position} increments or decrements its offset, respectively,so as to point to the same location. If a portion of the document is removed that contains a {@code Position}'s offset, then the {@code Position}'s offset becomes that of the beginning of the removed region. For example, if a {@code Position} has an offset of 5 and the region 2-10 is removed, thenthe {@code Position}'s offset becomes 2.

{@code Position} with an offset of 0 is a special case. It never changes itsoffset while document content is altered. @author Timothy Prinzing
