Re: [pivot-toolkit] Re: MVC, swing and pivot

[Greg Brown <gk...@mac.com>]

This change is done and has been committed. The listener "setters" have been eliminated, and the WTKX syntax has been updated as described below.

Any future discussion on this topic should be via pivot-dev@incubator.apache.org.
