The schedule that I posted last week is going to be delayed by at
least one week, since I'm still fighting with bullet 1...
Just for the record, the difficulty was that the
TreeTable.Node.getChildren() returns a List [1], and the List contract
appears to be very tricky to implement correctly in the context of
metadata (and random access appears inefficient anyway). I'm relaxing
the return type from List to Collection, which makes implementation much
easier.
The List type was not required by SIS (the Collection type is
sufficient). However I tried to meet the List contract because a List is
often required by widgets toolkits (Swing, JavaFX...). By abandoning the
List contract, we may need to provide some wrappers in GUI applications.
However given that JavaFX for instance actually wants an ObservableList
rather than the standard List, wrappers would probably have been
required anyway.
