Package com.realtime.crossfire.jxclient.faces

Manages image information ("faces") needed to display the map view, items, and spell icons. The main class is FacesManager; it delegates to a FaceCache instance for caching the face information. The faces are stored in SoftReferences so they can be reclaimed by the garbage collector.

If a face is not available, an "unknown" (question mark) face is returned and the face is requested through a FacesQueue instance.
