Re: [nebula-dev] API code review before M5?
|
I'm definitely interested in participating.
Email works well for me too and as for a date, I'd suggest somewhere
near the end of February.
thanks!

Thanks! Three questions:
0) (to the other committers) Who in Nebula is interested in
participating? I'm fine with using email as that makes it easier to
have a deeper conversation in a time-decoupled manner.
1) What kind of time frame works for Steve? For everyone else? Or
maybe it's easier for everyone if individual Nebula commiters work
separately with the SWT team (in which case, question 0 doesn't matter)?
2) Steve: Is there a list of things we should think about before we
start the review? Here's what I'm thinking of right now:
- JavaDoc completed for all API classes and methods.
- Obvious refactorings completed. API should obey DRY and the various
concerns should be defined where they're used, etc.
- Attention paid to the points raised about good SWT control design on
the Nebula web site.
- One question: SWT seems to prefer to define listener APIs using
interfaces rather than abstract classes, and to provide Adapter
classes for folks that don't need to implement a full interface,
consistent with AWT. Others API authors I've spoken with prefer to
define API using abstract classes rather than interfaces. Their
reason is that you can evolve an abstract class without breaking
clients but if you add a method to an interface, you break everybody.
What is your preference? Is it a higher priority for new API to be
consistent with AWT and the rest of SWT or to be more evolvable going
forward? Do you care?
Is there anything else I'm missing?
Thanks in advance. :-)
Regards,
Dave
