Ok!
Vou colocar aqui a classe. Deixei a documentação caso hajam duvidas … ficou um pouco extenso!

/**
* A <code>ParameterBlock</code> encapsulates all the information about sources and
* parameters (Objects) required by a RenderableImageOp, or other
* classes that process images.
*
* <p> Although it is possible to place arbitrary objects in the
* source Vector, users of this class may impose semantic constraints
* such as requiring all sources to be RenderedImages or
* RenderableImage. <code>ParameterBlock</code> itself is merely a container and
* performs no checking on source or parameter types.
*
* <p> All parameters in a <code>ParameterBlock</code> are objects; convenience
* add and set methods are available that take arguments of base type and
* construct the appropriate subclass of Number (such as
* Integer or Float). Corresponding get methods perform a
* downward cast and have return values of base type; an exception
* will be thrown if the stored values do not have the correct type.
* There is no way to distinguish between the results of
* "short s; add(s)" and "add(new Short(s))".
*
* <p> Note that the get and set methods operate on references.
* Therefore, one must be careful not to share references between
* <code>ParameterBlock</code>s when this is inappropriate. For example, to create
* a new <code>ParameterBlock</code> that is equal to an old one except for an
* added source, one might be tempted to write:
*
* <pre>
* ParameterBlock addSource(ParameterBlock pb, RenderableImage im) {
* ParameterBlock pb1 = new ParameterBlock(pb.getSources());
* pb1.addSource(im);
* return pb1;
* }
* </pre>
*
* <p> This code will have the side effect of altering the original
* <code>ParameterBlock</code>, since the getSources operation returned a reference
* to its source Vector. Both pb and pb1 share their source Vector,
* and a change in either is visible to both.
*
* <p> A correct way to write the addSource function is to clone
* the source Vector:
*
* <pre>
* ParameterBlock addSource (ParameterBlock pb, RenderableImage im) {
* ParameterBlock pb1 = new ParameterBlock(pb.getSources().clone());
* pb1.addSource(im);
* return pb1;
* }
* </pre>
*
* <p> The clone method of <code>ParameterBlock</code> has been defined to
* perform a clone of both the source and parameter Vectors for
* this reason. A standard, shallow clone is available as
* shallowClone.
*
* <p> The addSource, setSource, add, and set methods are
* defined to return 'this' after adding their argument. This allows
* use of syntax like:
*
* <pre>
* ParameterBlock pb = new ParameterBlock();
* op = new RenderableImageOp("operation", pb.add(arg1).add(arg2));
* </pre>
* */
