Good day GWT, It seems to me that these method names are misnomers, as neither HTML nor CSS provides the means to assign a name to a style.
What these methods are actually doing is modifying the CSS class name(s) that will be applied to the UI object's HTML element. CSS class names are not the names of styles, they are merely keys used in CSS selectors to determine which style specifications to apply to any given element. The same CSS class name can be referenced by multiple selectors and indeed from multiple stylesheets. Thus there is no sense in which CSS class names are the identifying names of styles; to me, logic dictates that these methods should have been named UiObject.[get|set|add|remove][Dependent]CssClass(). Google libraries are normally very careful, deliberate and precise about the choice of type and member names, so I'm truly puzzled by these. Can anyone shed any light on this decision?
