Hmm, do really think that using package protected modifiers instead of
private modifiers make the implementation faster. For some time I read
an article, which says the private modifier make the fastest access
possible.
The assumption that the access is fast is only valid, if have accessor
methods like that
class MyClass
{
private String text;
public getText()
{
return text;
}
}
class MyClass2
{
String text;
}
MyClass2.text ist faster than MyClass.getText
In the case of SlideSource.java, you don't have accessor methods.
And if you are a friend of defensive programming, you will
always working with private member variables, and use
accessor methods instead.
Thank you for your effort, but I doesn't think this is a good idea :-/
