Hi, I've been a active user for a number of years now and a big fan of the project. I'm a total beginner when it comes to contributing on Apache projects, so please bear with me.
The code base for Apache Chain is starting to feel more and more dated. I would like to see the following changes in the project: * Upgrading the source code to 1.6. * Supporting generics on commands, so that we get something like Command<MyContext> * Switching the logging API over to SLF4J, so that we can swap out logging implementations * Using the new java.util.concurrency classes to handle thread safety as needed. * Removing deprecated methods. I realize that I am suggestion rather drastic API changes that may break the existing API and that is why I'm suggesting a 2.0. I have a prototype that I am working on and I do not see it being a lot of work to accomplish the above tasks. Would a 2.0 version of Chain be useful to anyone? Or should I just fork the project for my own needs and release it independently like the Commons Collections with Generics? I know that I'm assuming a lot and diving in head first here, so thank you ahead of time for any replies. -Elijah Zupancic --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
