why waitUntilWidgetAppears()? [message #33139]

In the bot interface there is:

waitUntil(ICondition)
waitUntilWidgetAppears(ICondition)

Why does there need to be a separate function for widget appearance, given
they both take an ICondition? Can one not write:

Widget w;
bot.waitUntil(Conditions.waitForWidget(Matchers.equalTo(w))) ;

d.

If you look at the source waitUntilWidgetAppears just calls waitUntil and
encapsulates Timout exception into WidgetNotFoundException. This is most
likely because of existing API.

public void waitUntilWidgetAppears(ICondition waitForWidget) {
try {
waitUntil(waitForWidget);
} catch (TimeoutException e) {
throw new WidgetNotFoundException("Could not find widget.", e);
//$NON-NLS-1$
}
}

This was primarily to 'cast' the TimeoutException to a
WidgetNotFoundException.

I'm also considering changing this method to accept a
WaitForObjectCondition instead of an ICondition to make this distinction
clear. Also WaitForObjectCondition provides for better convenience apis.
