public interface TimeStamped

This interface represents objects that have a AbsoluteDate date attached to them.

Classes implementing this interface can be stored chronologically in sorted sets using ChronologicalComparator as the underlying comparator. An example using for Orbit instances is given here:

     SortedSet<Orbit> sortedOrbits =
         new TreeSet<Orbit>(new ChronologicalComparator());
     sortedOrbits.add(orbit1);
     sortedOrbits.add(orbit2);
     ...
 

This interface is also the base interface used to cache series of time-dependent objects for interpolation in a thread-safe manner.
