public class PreferenceManager
extends java.lang.Object

PreferenceManager: A Facade interface for setting and retrieving the various TextCite user preferences. We centralize all interaction with the Preferences store here, in order to avoid spreading the responsibility for setting defaults all around the application. All default preferences are set here; in addition, only those preferences made available here are valid.
