DefaultContent.java says it is not intended to be subclassed. The
content model will have to conect what StyledText displays and the user
changes with the underlying xml. Even if DefaultContent could be
subclassed StyledTextEvent is still needed. It performs important
functions in DefaultContent. The puzle is how the compiler can claim
that a class with a different name is a duplicate of one in swt.custom
