public interface Unit
extends Serializable, Localizable

represents a generic unit of measurement. A unit may be derived by a combination of other units, like velocity (length divided by time, e.g. km/h, knots) or volume (the third power of a length - e.g. gallon, liter, etc.). This class is related to JSR 275.
