[FreeCiv-Java] Events

["Alexander Braun" <BraunsAlexander@xxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I just started looking at the code in earnest, and after about close to three 
hours of looking (read: staring) at it I start to see a pattern emerging :-) 
_But_ as far as I see it there's no dedicated class handling the action 
events?! Or I didn't see it yet :-) Actually I'd like to stick to the facts: I 
was thinking of implementing the chat line, because that seemed like an easy 
start. And for _that_ (i.e. the client.panel.Console) I didn't see an action 
handler sign up. And then the question arises: _where_ do we handle events? 

Normally I would have said in the main GUI class (ie. client.MainWindow) but as 
the client.Client class manages the lot on second thought it should be going 
there. And, then again, inner classes wouldn't be to bad either, especially 
with the many components floating around, some of them (like the MapOverview) 
quite complex. 

If this seems like a trivial question then sorry for that. At least for the 
Console it seems straightforward to simply use inner classes. But I guess 
there's a lot more going on which I don't see yet, and I can well imagine lot's 
of events hopping around without proper handling. 

Again, if this is trivia, I'd be glad if someone pointed out the obvious to me. 
If not it seems we should have a short discussion to agree on the matter of 
what gets handled where.

Thanks,

Alex
