 This toolbox is to help users develop an MVC based GUI. The standard java lacks some functionality: while Java provides a ListModel and a TableModel, it lacks other models such as a StringModel. Also java lacks the tools to couple a model that contains a list of values to the keys of a hashmap-model and it does not support history. We need these functionalities when creating compound models.
 
-== The Model
-The toolbox has a hierarchy of Models. This section describes the various standard models.
 
 === ModelTime
-We start with ModelTime. This is NOT the MVC model but a class needed by the MVC model, therefore we explain it first.
+Before we can explain the MVC model, we need to explain a separate class {{{ModelTime}}}. This is a time keeping model, NOT an MVC model but a class needed by the MVC model, therefore we explain it first.
+
 The ModelTime is a listenable object containing the current time of the MVC models. All MVC models store a history, and at all times deliver the value stored at (or after) the current time.

-At the root is the Model interface. A model basically is an object, which implicitly contains some values that can be adjusted. The interface only specifies that the object broadcasts Event objects whenever something changes in the model.

 A Model is called a Compound Model if it contains sub-models. For instance a Person compound model may contain a StringModel containing the name, and a NumberModel containing the age.
