BeanItem reuse

General
1

I see this has more old issues as well, maybe it should be fixed? I’m on 6.2 currently though.

I’m copying the BeanItemContainer’s ability to take a collection over to my subclass of HierarchicalContainer,but the problem is BeanItem’s getPropertyDescriptors has package visibility (and i’ld like to name my package). Any way to do this w/o copy pasting the whole BeanItem in a new class to rewrite the visibility?

public FilterHierarchicalContainer(Collection<BT> collection)
			throws IllegalArgumentException {
		if (collection == null || collection.isEmpty()) {
			throw new IllegalArgumentException(
					"The collection passed to BeanItemContainer must not be null or empty");
		}

		type = (Class<? extends BT>) collection.iterator().next().getClass();
		model = BeanItem.getPropertyDescriptors(type);
		int i = 0;
		for (BT bt : collection) {
			addItemAt(i++, bt);
		}
	}

I copy pasted all of BeanItem into another class, fixing the visibility.
Also used addItem(bt) instead of addItemAt(i++, bt),
although addItemAt(,) is IndexedContainer’s method wich is extended by HierarchicContainer…

IndexedContainer :vader: … :open_mouth: HierarchicContainer

just a little silly humour there. :grin:
