------------------------------------
Summary: Deprecate (and eventually remove) the WTKListenerList
class, which is currently empty
Key: PIVOT-997
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-997
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wtk
Affects Versions: 2.1
Environment: All
Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
Priority: Minor
The WTKListenerList class was originally added as a subclass of ListenerList,
but with thread-safety checks in it (basically checking that all the operations
were performed on the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT) or "main" during startup).
All these checks were removed some time ago, so that component hierarchies
could be built "offline", that is in a background thread, either by
BXMLSerializer, or programmatically. This left WTKListenerList as an empty
class, but with comments to the effect that it was used to provide thread
safety checks.... This is confusing, and unnecessary. So, I propose to
deprecate the class in version 2.1, replacing all the internal references with
just "ListenerList", and so the class can be removed at some point after that.
Note: deprecating it in the 2.0.x branch is not really an option, since it
means the build gets 100s of warnings about the deprecation, which is not good
for a release branch.
