Description Vladimir Kvashin 2008-01-21 18:19:43 UTC

After changing strings to CharSequences in model API,
the following problem arouse:
client can't compare model names with strings.

CharSequence.equals returns false, if the parameter string isn't an instance of CharSequence.
So if a client enumerates model elements and compares their names with some string, he'll never find the element he
interested in.

A comparator that should be used for such purposes should be exposed via Code Model API.
(Now it resides in org.netbeans.modules.cnd.utils)

I'd like to note that there is a CharSequenceUtilities class in org.netbeans.lib.editor.util.
Probably it's worth moving this class to some more common place and referring to it instead.

CharSequenceKey with it's utility methods and comparators is now available for clients
