This is probably more an Avalon questions, but since it seems that Cocoon is the heaviest Source user it might well belong here too...
Has anyone seen on jakarta commons the VFS project? Other than having more than one duplication with the Excalibur Source concept (suggesting me that it might be worth considering some sort of cooperation between the projects), it made me think about a VFS-based Source implementation, which would buy us a bunch of new and useful protocols.
Yep.
Yet I'm wondering if someone has thought about it before since it seems pretty trivial to me to implement some sort of wrapper on top of it: I'm then asking, then, if there is something I'm missing or if this possible integration was just overlooked.
I found VFS when I wrote the CVSSource, but left it since there was nothing CVS-related there. However, I found it interesting to write a CVS provider for VFS, but the architecture seemed to me heavy compared to what's needed to write a Source. I also didn't have the necessary time to dig a lot.
Thoughts?
Time for a VFSSource ?
