Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT-Design Decisions
|
Hi Tom,
These questions have been asked before.
1) Interfaces have various advantages
and drawbacks. Defining them for the purposes of Javadoc is not in
keeping with the small side of the toolkit. What's an "SWT-Binding
writer"?
2) There could be abstact classes but
that would introduce a layer, increase the size of the toolkit and make
things slower, and possibly harder to debug and maintain.
3) The idea was to minimize the number
of constants in the toolkit. Read the Javadoc for class SWT.

| [platform-swt-dev] SWT-Design Decisions |
|
Hi,
Last night I browsed the SWT-Source and asked myself some questions:
1. Why are there no interface definitions like IWidget, IComposite, ...?
This would make life of SWT-Binding writers easier to stay in sync
with the SWT-API, wouldn't it? Another pro is that the javadoc
is
stored in the interface and not duplicated in the real
implementation as it is now.
2. Why are the no AbstractClasses used to extract platform-independent
code parts of Widgets?
3. Looking back was it really a good decision to put all constants into
SWT class?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Tom
