Hello,
I would like to add a default method to the MutableComboBoxModel interface:
default void removeAllElements(){ ...}
The reason to do this is that JComboBox has a removeAllItems() method which
works very well when the model of the combo box is a DefaultComboBoxModel.
However, when you use a plain MutableComboBoxModel the elements are removed
one by one and corresponding events are fired. Depending on the size of the
model, this can have a huge performance impact.
The implementation of the default model would have the same behavior as
what is currently done in JComboBox#removeAllItems (removing them one by
one).
Before I start working on this, I wanted to check whether:
a) I can just log an issue in the issue tracker and start working on this,
or whether API changes have some other kind of process I need to follow
b) anybody on this mailing list has an objection against this proposal
Thanks,
Robin
