Aside: it would be much easier to maintain consistent style if we used a
"template" to define the main outline of each family of interfaces and
generated the specializations from that (similar to how we generate the
various bytebuffer classes).
Oh, please god no! I find the way the buffer classes are generated a
real pain. Yes, it is good for maintaining consistency across similar
versions, but I don't see that as a good justification to introduce this
complexity. I was secretly hoping that nio Buffer generation would go
away in jdk8.
:) I only meant as a tool during development of the classes, not to
actually generate them as part of the build.
Sorry for alarming you like that. :)
