<description>
<p>
One of the most common usages of <a href="@TOP@/org/openide/util/lookup/ProxyLookup.html">ProxyLookup</a>
is to dynamically change the set of lookups being delegated to. However the
<a href="@TOP@/org/openide/util/lookup/ProxyLookup.html#setLookups-org.openide.util.Lookup...-">setLookups(...)</a>
method is <code>protected</code>. To avoid the need to subclass
<a href="@TOP@/org/openide/util/lookup/ProxyLookup.html">ProxyLookup</a>
this change introduces
<a href="@TOP@/org/openide/util/lookup/ProxyLookup.Controller.html">ProxyLookup.Controller</a>
that gives the creator of <a href="@TOP@/org/openide/util/lookup/ProxyLookup.html">ProxyLookup</a>
a way to call
<a href="@TOP@/org/openide/util/lookup/ProxyLookup.Controller.html#setLookups-org.openide.util.Lookup...-">setLookups(...)</a>
without exposing the method to others having just a reference to
the <a href="@TOP@/org/openide/util/lookup/ProxyLookup.html">ProxyLookup</a>.

<description>
<p>
Typically <code>AbstractServiceProviderProcessor</code> subclasses declare some
<a href="@JDK@/javax/lang/model/SourceVersion.html"><code>SourceVersion</code></a> support,
but as new JDKs are released, the declaration becomes obsolete and produces spurious warnings. The processors
are typically not affected by newer Java language features.
</p>
<p>
This change changes the default behaviour if NO
<a href="@JDK@/javax/annotation/processing/SupportedSourceVersion.html"><code>@SupportedSourceVersion</code></a>
annotation is present on subclass. From 8.40, the Processor will report
<a href="@JDK@/javax/lang/model/SourceVersion.html#latest--"><code>@SourceVersion.latest()</code></a>.

The clients of <a href="@TOP@/org/openide/util/Lookup.html#getDefault--">
Lookup.getDefault()</a> are mostly unaffected by this change,
just they need to be ready for the fact that the return
value of the method may no longer be fixed one, but can mutate
over time.

Calling <a href="@TOP@/org/openide/util/lookup/ProxyLookup.html">
ProxyLookup.lookupAll()</a> and other methods that compute
aggregate results delays computation of the result. This
may affect code which called
<a href="@TOP@/org/openide/util/Lookup.Result.html">Lookup.Result</a>.<code>allItems</code>,
<code>allInstances</code> or <code>allClasses</code> and relied
on side effect of such call. In case you want to trigger the
computation call some method on the returned

<a href="@TOP@/org/openide/util/lookup/ProxyLookup.html">ProxyLookup.setLookups</a>
used to fire <a href="@TOP@/org/openide/util/LookupEvent.html">LookupEvent</a> every
time it was called. Now it always checks whether there was a change to the
previous state. This will reduce the number of events delivered when a small
change is made. Also results from both
<a href="@TOP@/org/openide/util/lookup/ProxyLookup.html">ProxyLookup</a>
and <a href="@TOP@/org/openide/util/lookup/AbstractLookup.html">AbstractLookup</a>
were modified to return immutable <code>Collection</code>s.
So do not try to modify them. It was always documented that the
results, are immutable and also it was never said that a change is
delivered when there is no change in the result, so this is considered
compatible change, even it is know that at least one piece of code
in NetBeans relied on this behaviour.

<h1>Introduction</h1>
<h2>What do the Dates Mean?</h2>
<p>The supplied dates indicate when the API change was made, on the CVS
trunk. From this you can generally tell whether the change should be
present in a given build or not; for trunk builds, simply whether it
was made before or after the change; for builds on a stabilization
branch, whether the branch was made before or after the given date. In
some cases corresponding API changes have been made both in the trunk
and in an in-progress stabilization branch, if they were needed for a
bug fix; this ought to be marked in this list.</p>
<ul>
<li>The <code>release41</code> branch was made on Apr 03 '05 for use in the NetBeans 4.1 release.
Specification versions: 6.0 begins after this point.</li>
<li>The <code>release40</code> branch was made on Nov 01 '04 for use in the NetBeans 4.0 release.
Specification versions: 5.0 begins after this point.</li>
