Class ConversationFactory

java.lang.Object
org.bukkit.conversations.ConversationFactory
public class ConversationFactory extends Object
A ConversationFactory is responsible for creating a Conversation from a predefined template. A ConversationFactory is typically created when a plugin is instantiated and builds a Conversation each time a user initiates a conversation with the plugin. Each Conversation maintains its own state and calls back as needed into the plugin.

The ConversationFactory implements a fluid API, allowing parameters to be set as an extension to the constructor.
