I wanted to remove the duplication of some methods or utilities classes that exists in common but many of the interesting classes did simply not stabilized and were heavily changed in the sandbox. I have seen them migrate between projects, change the class name, change the method name, change the number of arguments, and so on. The only app that I can see could possibly be used as it graduated is commons-lang. commons-codec, commons-IO, commons-net, commons-resource are still in sandbox and that means could possibly change tomorrow. For future work there could be a lot more like CLI, Discovery, Logging and others -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
