AccessibleRelation (Java Platform SE 8 )

```
public class AccessibleRelation
extends AccessibleBundle
```
Class AccessibleRelation describes a relation between the object that implements the AccessibleRelation and one or more other objects. The actual relations that an object has with other objects are defined as an AccessibleRelationSet, which is a composed set of AccessibleRelations.
The toDisplayString method allows you to obtain the localized string for a locale independent key from a predefined ResourceBundle for the keys defined in this class.
The constants in this class present a strongly typed enumeration of common object roles. If the constants in this class are not sufficient to describe the role of an object, a subclass should be generated from this class and it should provide constants in a similar manner.
