Re: [e4-dev] I'd like to add static utility methods to UIEvents

[Eric Moffatt <emoffatt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

+1 both for having the methods and for
making them static...

For myself I prefer the more explicit
versions such as 'isAdd' rather than the more generic 'containsArg' but
don't really have any problem with the generic one as well...

Note that if we don't use static methods
we're in effect making the UIEvents class a 'service'...now there may be
advantages to doing that such as being able to hide EventAdmin away by
having subscribe methods in UIEvents....

Onwards,
Eric

UIEvents is a (mostly) auto-generated utility class (constants and static
methods).   While I agree in general we don't use static methods,
in this case I think it's acceptable.
