All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class DisplayPair

extends Pair

Just like pair, this is an association between two objects. Unlike pair, this class's toString() method will return the first object.toString() results. This is usefull for displaying objects in a list or tree or something where you want a display to be different than the actual object, but you want to obtain a reference to the actual object when a selection is made. An additional benefit is sorting. The Sorter class can sort objects and it will do so on the toString() results.
