Description

Just wanted to throw the idea out there for 2 reasons:

  • I think a comprehensive guide for using proxy is missing. While toying with Swing I wanted to genuinely extend a class and implement several interfaces at the same time, and a walk through type of guide would have helped.
  • When limiting the scope to implementing interfaces, there is an overlap in their capability and making a choice on which way to go is hard without a guideline.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing site documentation for proxy, reify, and protocols, then examine how Swing use cases are currently covered. The issue is complete when a comprehensive proxy guide and a clear comparison or selection guideline for interfaces, reify, and protocols are added; no specific files or tests are named.
