+ * to display all the correct fields. To later save the user input back to the target
+ * object the {@link Configurator#setValues(DataNode)} or {@link Configurator#setValues(Map)}
+ * can be used to set the individual fields and finaly call {@link Configurator#applyConfiguration()}
+ * to configure the target object.

+ * Supported field types: String, int, boolean, enum
