The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
OK, this is moving into Java/.Net land, so to keep David happy, I'm
moving it to the Java list... :)
Ah yes, opinion. <grin> Try telling the folks in the SWT development
team
about accessing member variables.
Member variables vs. property getter/setter is somewhat opinion, yes.
But since I don't know SWT (and I'm not going to learn it :) why did
they do that? A property getter/setter provides you a _possibility_ of
changing/enhancing the get/set process at a later date, where direct
variable access locks you out of that. The only reason I can think of
for direct access is one of performance, but I'd think that any decent
JIT compiler would optimize out the trivial getters/setters anyway.
I'll tell you why I like Java's technique...
Fair enough. And it is a style difference. The reason* I prefer the
opposite is that is it provides me a option down the line I don't
otherwise have. And actually all our business object property
getters/setters do more than a simple variable read/write anyway, so we
need that functionality.
