Neither Sun nor Apache has such a convention applied to acronym names, Henning. In fact (the name escapes me ATM), but there's at least one spot in Sun's JDK where the first-letter-caps version was deprecated in favor of an all-caps acronym. > I'd like to get these class names changed back. I removed one unimplemented class, re-added another with a similar name and different function in its place, and added an entirely new one to provide an XML implementation of the Configuration interface. I'm happy with the names I chose. Thanks for watching the commits. - Dan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
