Description Jan Matèrne CLA 2007-08-20 03:09:29 EDT 
When using a class you could generate delegating methods, e.g.

import com.sun.tools.doclets.formats.html.HtmlDoclet;
public class FallbackDoclet {
    private HtmlDoclet htmlDoclet = new HtmlDoclet(); 
}

you could generate the public non-static methods of HtmlDoclet configuration(), equals(), hashCode(), start(...) and toString().

It would be useful to generate also the static delegates, e.g.

    public static LanguageVersion languageVersion() {
        return HtmlDoclet.languageVersion();
    }


I think Bug 144259 is on the same field.

The request is just about the static methods, right? Creating normal delegate methods is already possible.

I mark it as dup of bug 144259 and add a comment there as well.

Comment 2 Jan Matèrne CLA 2007-08-20 06:03:17 EDT 
Yes, only the static methods are "additional" required.

I havent thought that this would be a duplicate of 144259, but with your comment "also wants" this is ok with me.
