[platform-swt-dev] java.util.Vector versus java.util.List

[sylvain mouquet <sylvain.mouquet@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am wondering why SWT use Vector and not List.

By example in the class org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText :

684   class RTFWriter extends TextWriter {

685   static final int DEFAULT_FOREGROUND = 0;

686   static final int DEFAULT_BACKGROUND = 1;

687   Vector colorTable, fontTable;

688   boolean WriteUnicode;

It's legacy code ? SWT needs to use synchronized list ?

Thanks in advance,

Sylvain
