[WIP] LANG-1339: replace java.beans.PropertyListener by java.util.Observable
For discussion, regarding
[LANG-1339](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1339) (TL;DR: remove
depedency on java.desktop from [lang], preparing for Java 9). Thought having
some code to discuss would be helpful.
This pull request contains a possible solution, where
java.beans.{PropertyChangeListener,PropertyChangeListener} are replaced by
java.util.{Observer,Observable}.
Users would still have the same feature, but alas binary compatibility
would not be kept. So perhaps this could be in a 4.x release. The other methods
are deprecated in the next 3.x releases, and we remove the dependency to
java.desktop on 4.x, and also offer a Java9 module with no dependency
java.desktop.
Would this be a viable alternative?
Cheers
Bruno
