Hi Anthony,

The methods where the UndoPosRef type is used in the generification are protected methods and UndoPosRef occurs in the argument list; from GapContent:

protected Vector<UndoPosRef> getPositionsInRange(Vector<UndoPosRef> v, int offset, int length)

protected void updateUndoPositions(Vector<UndoPosRef> positions, int offset, int length)

The second method includes the disclaimer

"This is meant for internal usage, and is generally not of interest to subclasses."

but the first method does not. As a protected method, either of these can be called by subclasses. Therefore, it seems to me the subclasses should be able to know the types of the objects in the vectors being passed into or returned.

Thanks,

-Joe

Hi Joe,

I'm not sure if exposing internal classes is a good idea. There's absolutely no need for user code to even know about them. If the only reason we have to make them protected is because they're exposed with the generification fix, then perhaps we could just revert the generifications (and add corresponding @SuppressWarning) for these specific cases?

Hello,

Please review my proposed changes to address:

     JDK-8055059: JDK9b22 public API exposes package private classes
     http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/8055059.0/

Bug JDK-8055059 that the generification of swing added package-private
types to the signatures of several protected methods. The solution is to
the make the formerly package-private types also be protected.

Patch below.

Thanks,
