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)
Comment 1 Vladimir Kvashin 2008-09-16 23:37:50 UTC 
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.
Comment 2 Vladimir Voskresensky 2009-05-05 12:33:05 UTC 
CharSequenceKey with it's utility methods and comparators is now available for clients
