Description Kenn Hussey CLA 2011-01-18 23:08:28 EST 
The generated edit code for the GWT runtime platform contains a plugin images class (e.g., TreeEditPluginImages) which has a method for each type that corresponds to its image resource (icon). However, a model containing a class named 'Notify' will result in a 'notify()' method, which conflicts with the method of the same signature in Object.

Please add appropriate name mangling (as is done with other Java keywords) so that this conflict does not occur, e.g., so that the method has a signature of 'notify_()' instead. Other potential conflicts should probably be addressed as well, e.g., for classes named Clone, Wait, HashCode, etc..
Comment 1 Ed Merks CLA 2011-01-21 02:19:27 EST 
The fix is committed to CVS for 2.7.
Comment 2 Kenn Hussey CLA 2011-01-23 22:10:56 EST
