[java-gnome-hackers] Editable

[Andrew C. <an...@op...>]

I've heard rumours that GtkEditable is going away (that, or it got
strengthened and actually used - anyone know?)

If it's going away that would make me happy; I am getting a little tired
of the following

        entry.connect(new Entry.Changed() {
            public void onChanged(Editable editable) {
                final Entry source;

                source = (Entry) editable;
                source.doSomething();
            }
        });
        
        entry.connect(new Entry.Activate() {
            public void onActivate(Entry source) {
                source.doSomething();
            }
        };

when clearly it should just be:

        entry.connect(new Entry.Changed() {
            public void onChanged(Entry source) {
                source.doSomething();
            }
        });
        
        entry.connect(new Entry.Activate() {
            public void onActivate(Entry source) {
                source.doSomething();
            }
        };

Not the sort of thing we could mess with unless we had a real ABI break
coming, but we do. This is on my list if its actually possible.
Comments? I'm sure you've got things you want to fix too :)

I talked to Tristan and Editable hasn't gone away. Fine.

I am going to add Entry's connect(Entry.Changed) with that signature on
the '4.1' branch. That won't break if you were using
connect(Editable.Changed), otherwise you'll be able to drop the cast.
