[Decker-jdecker] Some aspects of required code refactoring for JDecker

[Vasilij S. <vas...@gm...>]

Greetings,

Decker list for historical purposes.

I was going through code just before going to bed and found some fairly
fascinating things.

Are there any particular reason you are re-implementing basic Java stuff?
Because both Queue and StringTreeMap seem to be rather redundant.

Queue has implementation in Java. Here is the Javadoc for it:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/AbstractQueue.html

If I understood StringTreeMap properly you have implemented Map
functionality with Tree structure. Though motivation is not clear for me. I
would go with Map(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html)
as generic data structure and HashMap (
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/HashMap.html) as
implementation. I do believe Java engineers did a decent job implementing
this basic stuff properly.

I also do not understand what is ArrayModifier class for? Is it dynamic
array implementation? If so, there is better way to do it.

Also, what is motivation for extending StringPrintStream?
