<AWT Dev> RFC: KeyboardFocusManager patch

[Roman Kennke]

Hi Anton,

> In the original javadoc comment you mentioned KeyboardFocusManager.initPeer(),
> the method where the current toolkit is checked for being implementing
> the KFMPeerProvider interface. As the javadoc for the interface (that becomes
> a kind of internally public) is a specification, any mentioning of any
> methods, classes etc. in the specification becomes a part of it.
> Thus we're making the method KeyboardFocusManager.initPeer() a part of the
> specification (and so we will have to support it in the future).
> But as you can see this method is private and we're free to change it anytime.
> 
> Also I said that the developer anyway mustn't know where exactly his toolkit is
> retrieved for a KFMPeer it provides. What the developer should do
> is just to implement the KFMPeerProvider. Mentioning in the javadoc that
> the KFM peer is retrieved _somewhere_ in the KFM would be enough, right?

> Have I explained this clear now?

Ah ok. I thought you were speaking about something in the code. Yeah I
fully agree with your points.

Cheers, Roman
