I just upgraded to eclipse 2.1 M4 and now it (correctly) warns me about
lots of "references to static elements/methods in a non-static way", which
works but is a terrible source of bugs (like aThread.sleep() does NOT put
the receiving instance to sleep but rather the current thread). Some
warnings revolved around OperationSorter, so I looked at that and found
many static methods that were invoked like they were supposed to be
instance methods and vice versa, too. Since
dataNode.getAdapter().getOpSorter() returns an instance or null I think
these static methods should be made proper instance methods. This should
not impact any applications.
Might be god to clean this up asap, no?
