Named constructors in GObject classes conventionally start with
new_. This prefix is superfluous in the Java language bindings. For example,Button.newWithLabel()can more concisely be written asButton.withLabel(). Therefore, the Java-GI bindings has been changed to strip thenewprefix from the name of the static factory methods for named constructors.This is not a brand new idea; Gtk-rs also has this in a number of cases (including
Button.with_label()).
