Full story

The current event posting code for ConfigChunk^? and ChunkDesc^? objects try to piggyback off of JavaBean^? PropertyChange^? events. This clearly does not work well given the complex structure of these object. There are many places where parts of the VrjConfig^? GUI are not getting updated correctly either because they are not given enough information about the change or they are not being notified about the change in the first place. These inconsistencies lead to user frustration.

Implementation notes

After making the changes to the event firing for the ChunkDesc^? objects, I had hoped that the GUI components relying on it would be easily updated. It has turned out that this is not the case and I am busy chasing down "failed update" bugs as they appear. I really need to get the test suite to cover more of the code, especially in this area.
