CUF (Client Utilities & Framework) Files

CUF 2.0.8
=========
This is a medium feature release (for Java only) with the following changes:
o fixed: a lot of minor bugs (MultiSelectionTableModelAdapter firing only once, JMenu insertion with negative index, EDT exception handling, ..)
o improved: implemented generics for request handling (Request, Response), AspectAdapter and MultiSelectionInList
o changed: switch Intellij to .idea format to make sharing the config simpler (only relevant for CUF core development, not relevant for use)
o changed: NewTableSorter.clearSortingState() is now public so we can force a re-sorting when the data changes during a callback
o added: better list/table/etc. handling:
  + the SwingListSelectionState now also supperts a reverse index
  + the SwingTableModelFillState and SwingTreeModelFillState now allow to change the threshold via setCompareContent()
  + listSelection now supports handing over the index (or the reverse index) in the ref2 attribute
  + listFill, tableFill and treeFill now supports handing over the threshold as a integer in the ref2 attribute
  + a new MinMaxState
  + an opaque attribute to switch a component to opaque when it is disabled
  + optional implementation of the TableFilterPlugin, to enable filtering
  + extUpdRef attribute to the XML description of value models to notify another value model via signalExternalUpdate() if our own value changed. Useful to update 'grandparents' about changes in a aspect adapter or simular down the road.
o updated: dependencies (Junit, jdom2)
o improved: better serialize support for MultiSelectionInList 
o improved: better re-use of glasspane
o improved: made constructor of DialogManager public to allow external usage of the dialog manager

This will be most likely the last Java 7 CUF release, with Java 8 we can greatly improve the callback handling by utilizing lambdas/method references.
