It has been vetoed ... wait a few months and I will surely bring it up again though ;) > 2. I'm assuming the "veto" comment was off-the-cuff and should not be > taken seriously ...

My opinion is that there should be nothing in org.apache.avalon.* namespace (bad advertising). It is much better to make everything in other namespaces but use advertising to get message across about where it is from (ie AvalonFramework or avalon-framework as name of jars). I also don't like idea of merging in components+aut code, nor merging framework code and component code etc. The implementation-interface non-separation is also a little yucky but not something that I think is worth persuing yet. All in all I have made many a compromise to try to bring Avalon to beta ... and I was willing to support it as such. However a straw can break a camels back ;) Cheers, Pete *-----------------------------------------------------* | "Faced with the choice between changing one's mind, | | and proving that there is no need to do so - almost | | everyone gets busy on the proof." | | - John Kenneth Galbraith | *-----------------------------------------------------* --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
