[cp-patches] FYI: LookAndFeel.toString() fixlet

[Mark Wielaard]

Hi,

Riccardo reported a bug off list about code that tried to parse the
LookAndFeel.toString() result to find the actual Class name of the
LookAndFeel subclass. Although this is highly questionable the big Swing
book does indeed that toString() returns a string based on the
description and class name. And we currently returned something very
non-descriptive, so I updated it as follows:

2005-12-06  Mark Wielaard  <address@hidden>

    * javax/swing/LookAndFeel.java (toString): Include description and
    Class name.

Committed,

Mark
