Description Alexander Nyßen CLA 2010-02-07 11:13:00 EST 
Build Identifier:  M20090917-0800

Because not all LayoutManager implementations actually support constraints, I would propose to factor out a special interface "ConstrainedLayoutManager" for those who do, pulling the constraint-related methods down to this interface. The same holds for the abstract implementation (AbstractLayout), where a dedicated subclass "AbstractConstrainedLayout" could be introduced.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Alexander Nyßen CLA 2010-07-25 15:22:38 EDT 
As pulling getConstraint and setConstraint down would be an API-breaking change, this may not be realized before a new major release (4.0).
Comment 2 Alexander Nyßen CLA 2014-08-05 10:36:48 EDT 
As GEF (MVC) 3.x is only maintained and breaking API changes will not be incorporated, resolving as WONTFIX.
