Description Dave Smith CLA 2005-11-04 16:09:37 EST 
The TPTP abstract class org.eclpise.hyades.logging.adapter.impl.Sensor has a 
testGetNext() method that is required by the ISensor interface but is not 
usable.  This method should be removed from the Sensor abstract class to force 
classes that implement ISensor and extend Sensor to create a valid  testGetNext
() method.  Currently if the Sensor subclass does not have a testGetNext() the 
invalid one will be inherited from Sensor and will cause errors at runtime.
Comment 1 Dave Smith CLA 2005-11-04 16:10:18 EST 
Removing a method breaks API so targetting this to a future API-breaking 
release.
Comment 2 Eric Labadie CLA 2007-09-12 15:19:39 EDT 
This is required from the AC perspective.
Comment 3 Dave Smith CLA 2007-09-14 12:26:38 EDT 
Adding a sizing.

As indicated in Comment #1 this change cannot be done until a breaking API
release because a method is being removed that may cause existing sensors that extend the Sensor class not to compile or execute.
Comment 4 Alex Nan CLA 2007-12-17 10:17:49 EST 
Reassigning defects to current component owner.
Comment 5 Alex Nan CLA 2008-06-24 17:58:03 EDT 
No support for the GLA will be provided post 4.5.
Comment 6 Alex Nan CLA 2008-06-24 18:01:06 EDT 
Closing.
