[Cdk-devel] Implementation for RFC #13

[E.L. W. (Egon) <eg...@sc...>]

Hi all,

this afternoon, I've implemented RFC #13, which makes the boolean[] flags and 
Vector[] pointers fields protected (they were public). To compensate, new 
methods are provided set/getFlag, and set/getPointer (see RFC, at 
http://cdk.sf.net/rfc13.html).

This change required some major editing in multiple files in CVS. After the 
modification, no jUnit errors were generated. After manually checking all 
changes one more time, I've commited the patch to CVS.

This implementation breaks the previous API. *THUS*, all source code outside 
CDK's CVS is bound to be broken. Therefore,

** WARNING **

Don't be suprised when you get multiple errors when compiling your 
(third-party) software (like Jmol, NMRShiftDB, JChemPaint, etc) with the CDK 
librairy from CDK CVS (as of today).

To solve this, please refer to CDK RFC #13.

** END WARNING **

thanx for your attention :)

grtz,

Egon
