[izpack-devel] private/protected conventions in IzPanels

[Bartz, Klaus]

Hi Ryan,
I agree that private variables sometimes nasty.
I think there are two reasons to make a variable private and not protected.
1. There is a rule never access a class variable from else where.
2. Protected variables should be commented.
 
Both do not say that a variable should not accessable. Therefore I think
we should comment them.
Whether getter and setter better or direct access is may be matter of
opinion.
 
Cheers
 
Klaus

Hey friends,

 

I've noticed that sometimes we make variables private instead of making them protected in IzPanels.  Is there a reason for that?    It's nice to make the variables protected because then it's much easier to modify the functionality of the panel.
