This is actually why I hate Sun's approach to this pattern. Observable is not an interface but a regular class. They should have made it an interface and created an abstract class AbstractObservable.
Yea, I looked into that but that really jacks up my domain model because it isn't Swing specific. I'm trying to avoid much more than the crappy PropertyChangeSupport that I have to use for something like this that I am doing.
