Interface SimEntityNullBase

All Superinterfaces:
Comparable<SimEntity>, Identifiable, Nameable, Runnable, SimEntity
public interface SimEntityNullBase extends SimEntity
A base interface used internally to implement the Null Object Design Pattern for interfaces extending SimEntity. It's just used to avoid the boilerplate code in such Null Object implementations.
