"rolling" could be implemented using a version of CircularFifoBuffer which could accept double primitives.
It would be important to gauge the "Readiness" of the o.a.c.collections.primitives
classes. Is there an sense of a timeline for the next collections release?
This is a good point we should discuss readiness with the collections crew. Note, I think Rodney Wandhoff has handled the primitive collection development so he is probably the most knowledgeable source for its status.
Until we get an answer to that, I'd recommend that commons-math not add
a dependency to the SNAPSHOT for collections.
I changed to the snapshot so we could at least experiment with them. We should be careful about using these dependencies. I have not, as of yet started to use them.
Note that in Maven, dependency on a SNAPSHOT during development is resolved to a "version" on release of a distribution of your project. You can set dependencies as SNAPSHOTs because the snapshots are just soft links to a fully numbered version in the maven repository (this can be a full release or a dated build). When you release, the SNAPSHOT is resolved to the existing repository version. So your assured of having the jar you developed against available in the future for download. Also note that many Commons and Jakarta projects have released with dependencies on dated jars, though I do recognize its also good to release with dependencies on solid versions as they stick around longer and tend to be more stable (in theory).
