+/** Creates instances of {@link RegionAttributes}. An <code>AttributesFactory</code>
+ * instance maintains state for creating <code>RegionAttributes</code> instances.
+ * The setter methods are used to change the settings that will be used for
+ * creating the next attributes instance with the {@link #create}
+ * method. If you create a factory with the default constructor, then the
+ * factory is set up to create attributes with all default settings. You can
+ * also create a factory by providing a <code>RegionAttributes</code>, which
+ * will set up the new factory with the settings provided in that attributes
+ * instance.
+ *
+ * <p>Once a <code>RegionAttributes</code> is created, it can only be modified
+ * after it has been used to create a <code>Region</code>, and then only by
+ * using an {@link AttributesMutator} obtained from the region.
