public class EventDispatcherImpl
extends Object
implements EventDispatcher

An implementation of the EventDispatcher interface. Since Java doesn't support multiple inheritance, you could follow the Log.java style: this class should be instantiated and kept as a variable by each object it is used by, ala: private final EventDispatcher _event = new EventDispatcher(); Deprecated - Used only by I2PTunnel If there is anything in here that doesn't make sense, turn off your computer and go fly a kite - (c) 2004 by jrandom
