[java-gnome-hackers] event listeners

[Jeffrey M. <Jef...@Br...>]

I would like to get everybody's opinion on something.
Is it better to define a method on a listener interface
for each type of event or is it better to define one
method and have the event class specify the type. For
example:

Option 1: A method for each type of event

public interface KeyListener {
  public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event);
  public void keyReleased(KeyEvent event);
};


Option 2:  A single method with the KeyEvent
specifying the actual event.

public interface KeyListener {
  public void keyEvent(KeyEvent event);
};

if (event.getId() == KeyEvent.PRESSED)
  ...

Let me know what your thoughts.
