Description Jaroslav Tulach 2004-03-12 17:30:06 UTC 
in case of listeners and events I think, that
having them as nested classes may violate
javabeans spec. I have not seen such pattern many
times.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2004-03-12 17:49:28 UTC 
Not aware of this violating any spec, but agree on the general
principle of avoiding public static nested classes. (Doesn't really
avoid clutter to use them anyway, since they appear as separate
entries in package-summary.html, unlike inner classes.)
Comment 2 Tomas Zezula 2004-03-22 12:41:24 UTC 
Fixed.
Comment 3 Jaroslav Tulach 2004-03-23 08:38:29 UTC 
It is there.
