public interface RealizingFeatureHolder
extends FeatureHolder

Interface for FeatureHolder objects which know how to instantiate new child Features. This interface should not be needed in normal client programs, since they will use the createFeature method of FeatureHolder to add new features. However, this method exposes the feature realization infrastructure to child features.
