getIdentifier
String getIdentifier()Returns this component's identifier, which should be unique. To minimize the risk of returning an identifier that is also used by another app, you should add a prefix/namespace. As a suggestion, the prefix can be your app's name or your organization reverse domain. For example, return "com.myorganizationname.MyPanel" instead of just "MyPanel". The prefix "org.cytoscape." is reserved for modules and apps provided by the Cytoscape Consortium only and must not be used by third-party apps.- Returns:
- The identifier of this component.
