Re: [gef3d-dev] MouseEvent3D: what's the meaning of DUMMY

I'm not too sure about that. It looks like it is used when an event of type java.util.EventObject is passed to getEvent. I think that EventObject is the superclass of all AWT and Swing events in java. Unfortunately I don't remember why I am using this as a failover, but I'm sure there has to be a reason for it. Either I took this from MouseEvent or I did it because the given event is not always an SWT Event, but can be an EventObject, too (maybe if someone is using the Swing / SWT bridge?).
I would be careful about removing this. Do you just want to tidy it up or is there another reason to remove it?
Regards
Kristian
