JMeterGUIComponent.isEnabled( )

[Jeremy Arnold <je...@bigfoot.com>]

Hello,
    The JMeterGUIComponent interface defines methods isEnabled( ) and 
setEnabled(boolean) for determining whether a component (or rather, its 
associated test element) should be enabled when the test is run.

    However, these methods are also defined in java.awt.Component to 
determine whether a GUI component should be enabled or disabled.  So 
when AbstractJMeterGuiComponent implements these methods, it is 
overriding the implementations provided by AWT/Swing.

    Is this intentional?  If so, it should probably be documented.  And 
in that case, we should also consider getting rid of the implementations 
provided by AbstractJMeterGuiComponent and just rely on the 
implementations provided by AWT/Swing.  If this isn't what was intended, 
we should probably rename these methods in JMeterGUIComponent to avoid 
confusion.  But I would recommend waiting until at least after the 
pre-release...I don't totally understand the implications of how it is 
implemented right now, so I wouldn't be surprised to see some unexpected 
behavior pop up if we change it.

Jeremy
