Hi!

I am creating a specialization of SelectEdit PartTracker. I would like to
put this as part of my code's package hierarchy without polluting that of
GEF. However, I am finding that methods like accStepIncrement are package
private. This forces me to duplicate those methods into my specialization
and so as to be able to do the same task. Can someone enlighten me on any
alternatives that I may have, or why methods in AbstractTool have been
declared package private. I am using GEF 2.1.1

Shankar,

We were asked to make GEF keyboard accessible at the very end of our 2.1.0
development cycle. This did not give us enough time to commit to the API
for these methods, so they were declared package private.

Please open a bugzilla with the API you would like to reuse.
