Description Jaroslav Tulach 2002-08-29 15:13:49 UTC 
1. Constructor should not mention DataObject,
there is no need for it.
2. handleXXX methods can show dialogs? Does that
mean that they are called from AWT thread or from
safe thread where they can block for result of AWT
operation? - need more threading info.
Comment 1 Vitezslav Stejskal 2002-08-30 11:10:49 UTC 
ad 1. infrastructure needs to know the .project file, in fact it is
identification of the project. (e.g. when IDE is closed and restarted,
infrastructure has to find .project file and reread it again in order
to preserve list of open projects)

ad 2. this is bug IMO, operation shouldn't block calling thread, it
can be replanned to AWT or any other 'safe' thread.
handleXXX methods are just notifications, e.g. when handleModification
is called the project is loaded and working already, thus we can wait
for user's response without blocking caller of this method.
Comment 2 Torbjorn Norbye 2002-09-13 22:56:22 UTC 
Fixed. Dispatched dialog code to the event thread, and updated
javadoc for the handleXXX methods to state that the method
can be called from any thread.  I have not addressed issue #1
since Vita said it's necessary and you haven't disputed that;
if you disagree reopen the bug.

Silence means agreement.
