I'm ready to commit an implementation of the proposed "delayed" element creation and top level execution order.
It is based on the embed ProjectHelperImpl2 - I cleaned up every other feature ( dynamic properties, component factories ) and remove the 'legacy' code that supported the old execution model. The changes can be applied to ProjectHelperImpl, but I think using the new code is better - and it gives us SAX2 and namespaces ( not used yet - but available ). I'll make sure the tests are passing and do a gump run on my machine, then commit. As usual, if you see any problem ( or if the official gump does ) I'll revert the change imediately. Please review, it's an important change. Costin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
