org.eclipse.tracecompass.incubator.scripting.core.utils.UtilsModule

public class UtilsModule
extends Object

A utility scripting module that wraps certain classes in more convenient objects. Script developers should try to use the wrapped class directly first as it may not be problematic in some cases and if there are execution problems when running the script, use the wrapper instead.
