Re: [java-gnome-hackers] event code

[Jeffrey M. <ku...@zo...>]

I like the idea.  I want to create a new package to
contain the interfaces and the event classes. Perhaps
org.gnu.gtk.event.  I will create this package, create
the event class, update the Widget class and add a few
additional events.  I will check this updated code in
sometime this evening.

I need to check off for now.  I should be back online
late tonight.
