IOTab (I/O APIs

java.lang.Object
- org.openide.windows.IOTab

```
public abstract class IOTab
extends java.lang.Object
```
Settings of tool tip/icon for IO component (tab).
Client usage:
```
  // settings of IO tab icon, tooltip
  InputOutput io = ...;
  Icon icon = ...;
  IOTab.setIcon(io, icon);
  IOTab.setToolTipText(io, "text");
 
```
How to support IOTab in own IOProvider implementation:
- InputOutput provided by IOProvider has to implement Lookup.Provider
- Extend IOTab and implement its abstract methods
- Place instance of IOTab to Lookup provided by InputOutput
