public interface DockTitleFactory

A factory for creating instances of DockTitle. Clients might install DockTitleRequests on this factory such that this factory can always change the title that is currently shown. A factory should call DockTitleRequest.answer(DockTitle) only when requested so, meaning only if the method request(DockTitleRequest) is called. If a factory wishes to exchange a title it should call DockTitleRequest.request() which in return might then call request(DockTitleRequest).
