ArbitraryConfiguratorBase (documentation 1.3.7 API)

java.lang.Object
- net.jqwik.api.configurators.ArbitraryConfiguratorBase

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<ArbitraryConfigurator>, ArbitraryConfigurator
```
@API(status=MAINTAINED,
     since="1.0")
public abstract class ArbitraryConfiguratorBase
extends java.lang.Object
implements ArbitraryConfigurator
```
Using this base class is the easiest way to make use of the configuration mechanism described in ArbitraryConfigurator
Implementations must be registered in /META-INF/services/net.jqwik.api.configurators.ArbitraryConfigurator so that they will be automatically considered for arbitrary configuration.

Some examples that come with jqwik:
- net.jqwik.engine.properties.configurators.CharsConfigurator
- net.jqwik.engine.properties.configurators.SizeConfigurator
