> 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.
