Cool. Will look at it again in a few days time. > Mike, thanks for your quick feedback. When you say that the refactoring > is an improvement, what does it improve for you? I like it when the code for defining a UI element and the code for interacting with it are close together. So hauling code out of the action listener routine and into a lambda next to the point a button is defined is an obvious win for me. OTOH, I like lambdas (old Lisp hand here). Others are less convinced. I also like shorter code. Mostly. > Also, when you say that "Interface complexity is the #1 menace.", I > guess you are talking about the number of widgets that can compose a > user interface, Partly. Also number of different classes involved, and especially the interactions between the classes... however that is a slippery concept --- I have seen cases where blindly reducing the cyclomatic complexity made a codebase harder to read/understand. > the difficulty to use user interfaces? I am thinking mainly from the code development side. I try to keep out of UI design / usability. Cheers, Mike Pope
