extends FeatureDescriptor

Represents abstract inspector which is used to control properties of ide components. Inspector contains a number of IdeInspectorComponents to store the properties and other information about ide components. All inspector components are categorized into visible and non-visible by specifying visibility condition for each component. Inspector sorts all components by weights - double numbers, one for each inspector component. This numbers are double in order to insert any number of new inspector components between the existing ones.
