[pde-dev] About illegally instantiation of ModelChangedEvent

[João Arthur <joaoarthurbm@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys, my name is João Brunet and I'm a PhD student at UFCG - Brazil, currently visiting professor Gail Murphy at University of British Columbia.

In my PhD, I'm analyzing the API Tools Verification Reports of Eclipse project. I'm collecting some interesting observations from this data. However, I need some of specialists' opinion about these tests results. Would mind to answer me a quick question about this warning?

org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.editor.plugin.PluginInputContextManager illegally instantiates org.eclipse.pde.core.ModelChangedEvent generated by the following code:

private void transferListeners(IModel source, IModel target) {

...

     smodel.fireModelChanged(new ModelChangedEvent(smodel, IModelChangedEvent.WORLD_CHANGED, null, null));

    

...

}

source-code link.

My question is: Why did the developer break the rule?

Thank you in advance!  I would be very grateful if you help me. Your opinion will improve a lot my results.

João
