> 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.
