Description Jesse Glick 2001-03-14 11:06:15 UTC 
It is pretty unnatural-seeming to write ErrorManager.log(pri,message), when
conceptually the message is the main thing, and the integer priority level is a
secondary thing. Even knowing about it, I often write it backwards at first and
need a compile error to remind me about the order.

Suggest that notify(int,Throwable) and log(int,String) be deprecated in favor of
notify(Throwable,int) and log(String,int).
Comment 1 Jaroslav Tulach 2001-03-21 13:17:56 UTC 
Too late. You should comment that at the beginig. I do not think that
deprecating method just to exchange parameters is programming style we should
use.
