With this PR, it will become possible to specify minimum, maximum and default values for GObject properties declared in Java classes with the
@Property
annotation.For example:
The
@Property
parametersminimumValue
,maximumValue
anddefaultValue
expect String values. They are transformed by Java-GI to the proper type usingBoolean.parseBoolean()
,Integer.parseInt()
etcetera.Using these three parameters, Java developers can set the minimum, maximum and default values on the
GParamSpec
of a property that they defined in Java.For properties with a getter and setter method, either both or neither methods must be annotated with
@Property
(or else they will not be recognized by Java-GI as a pair). The annotation parameters must be specified on the getter. They can be specified on the setter too, but only the parameters on the getter are actually used.
