public abstract class Information

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

Information is used to save data. It uses standard java serialization. It is recommended to provide specialized serialization methods (use Externalizable interface) to save space in the save game. During reconstruction of the object the player is accessible via Player.getPlayer(). j4cEvo managed objects, that need to maintain their identity use this to implement the readResolve pattern.
