[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: getListeners methode no present, why ?

["Carolyn MacLeod" <Carolyn_MacLeod@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you download the 3.4M5 milestone build (or later), the new code is in 
there.
You can get the 3.4M5 SDK here: 
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.4M5-200802071530/
Click on the download link for the platform you are running on.

We cannot back-port API to a previous version of eclipse, so for 
getListeners, you have to go with 3.4.

You are correct about the compare problem.
I have opened this bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=223113
Please cc yourself if you'd like to track this.
You might want to add a comment to describe your use case, and why you would 
need this to work.

For now, the best work-around is to use untyped listeners if you can, i.e. 
addListener(eventType, listener).
There's another work-around in the bug report.
