			+ "model. Property provides standardized API for a singe data object "
			+ "that can be getted and setted. A property is always typed, but can optionally "
			+ "support data type conversions. Optionally properties can provide "
			+ "value change events for following the state changes.</p>"
			+ "<p>The most important function of the Property as well as other "
			+ "data models is to connect classes implementing the interface directly to "
			+ "editor and viewer classes. Typically this is used to connect different "
			+ "data sources to UI components for editing and viewing their contents.</p>"
			+ "<p>Properties can be utilized either by implementing the interface "
			+ "or by using some of the existing property implementations. IT Mill Toolkit "
			+ "includes Property interface implementations for "
			+ "arbitrary function pairs or Bean-properties as well as simple object "
			+ "properties.</p>"
			+ "<p>Many of the UI components also imlement Property interface and allow "
			+ "setting of other components as their data-source. These UI-components "
			+ "include TextField, DateField, Select, Table, Button, "
			+ "Label and Tree.</p>";
