For example, an <code>AssetLoader</code> that 19 loads TGA images should read a stream in .tga format and return an 20 {@link com.jme3.texture.Image} object as its output. 21 <code>AssetLoader</code>s are initialized once a file of that format 22 is loaded, there's only one AssetLoader per thread so 23 AssetLoader's load() method does not have to be thread safe. 24 25 <h3>AssetLocators</h3> 26 {@link com.jme3.asset.AssetLocators asset locators} are used to resolve 27 an asset name (a string) into an {@link java.io.InputStream} which is 28 contained in an {@link com.jme3.asset.AssetInfo} object. 29 There are <code>AssetLocators</code> for loading files from the application's 30 classpath, the local hard drive, a ZIP file, an HTTP server, and more. The user 31 can implement their own AssetLocators and register them with the <code>AssetManager</code> 32 to load their resources from their own location. 33 34 35 </body> 36 </html> 37 38
