Randy,
Would you be able to commit this today? I have large number of
changes that is growing. I'd like to update before it gets out of hand.

Dave, Greg, Craig, others concerned,
I am about to commit a major change in the Attribute system.
It covers 93 files.
Attributes and AttributeDefinitions are now parameterized by
three types, e.g. the new definition for IAttribute is
public interface IAttribute<T, A extends IAttribute<T,A,D>, D extends
IAttributeDefinition<T,A,D>>
extends Comparable<A> {
/**
* @return the attribute definition object associated with this
attribute
*/
public D getDefinition();
/**
* @return
*/
public T getValue();
/**
* @return string
*/
public String getValueAsString();
/**
* @return whether any UI elements for this attribute
* should be enabled.
*/
public boolean isEnabled();
/**
* Is the string parsable to a valid
* attribute of this type?
*
* @param string
* @return
*/
public boolean isValid(String string);
/**
* @param value
* @throws IllegalValueException
*/
public void setValue(T value) throws IllegalValueException;
/**
* @param string
* @throws IAttribute.IllegalValue
*/
public void setValueAsString(String string) throws
IllegalValueException;
}
The same change has been made for AttributeDefinition's.
Also note that ArrayAttribute is parameterized on its
contained type. Its getValue() now returns a List<T> instead of
T[].
Let me know if there is any reason not to commit these changes.
Regards,
Randy
