Description Heiko Böttger CLA 2010-03-24 06:06:09 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

I tried to create my own implementation of an org.eclipse.draw2d.DeferredUpdateManager, which has some additional events to intercept and custom the paint-reqests. For optimization reasons I need to beable to customize the #paint-method as it is done in the DeferredUpdateManager. This is impossible since the #paint-method is package private and directly delegates to the #performUpdate(Rectangle)-method. Is it possible to make the method public or redirect the call to a protected-method #handlePaint(gc). 

-- current implementation --

void paint(GC gc) {
  performUpdate(new Rectangle(gc.getClipping()));
}

-- requested change --

void paint(GC gc) {
  handlePaint(gc);
}

protected void handlePaint(GC gc) {
  performUpdate(new Rectangle(gc.getClipping()));
}


Reproducible: Always
