but I do not expect this to go in 2.0 unless other folks like/need it.

Looks useful to me. I would go ahead and add it. Here are a couple of small comments:


1. Yes, the name sucks, but nothing nice jumps out at me. Of the alternatives that you have listed, I like "indexOfOccurrence" the best. Another one to consider might be "ordinalIndexOf".

2. Make sure to change the method names in the javadoc examples to match the chosen name. Also, the last two examples should probably be replaced by one using a * for the integer argument.

My thought was that we were indeed voting on the build based on tagged
sources and that any new commits would be in a post >2.0 release (even
though, these changes being Javadoc changes are "harmless" and

beneficial to


the release IMHO ;-)

If we want to implement a code freeze in our environment on top of using
tags, we could do that. I guess we'd have to vote on it too :-)

Sorry if I misunderstood things. I thought we were still adding things to the release. I see no reason to freeze code if we have a tagged release. I am +1 for releasing the code prior to the javadoc changes that occurred during the vote or to adding them and retagging. If that requires a new vote, then I am OK with that as well.

In any case, we should not have to stop everything as we wait for the
release to go. I would also very much like to see 2.0 get out the door.

Well, if there is a question about policy/process, why not just freeze

the



code and restart the vote?

By tagging the CVS, he effectively has frozen the code for the Release.

I

was simply curious about the policy because, as I said, other projects

are

stricter.  For example the HTTPd team has different rules
(http://httpd.apache.org/dev/release.html).

A Release Manager makes a release build, and it is automatically an

alpha.

It becomes a beta release when at least three Committers have voted beta
status, and there are more +1 than -1.  It becomes a GA release when at
least three Committers vote for GA (stable) status, and there are more

+1

than -1.  Notice that -1 is not a veto.  Notice, also, that the package
itself may go through multiple status changes, but no packaging changes.
The only allowable change is renaming the file to reflect the change in
status; exceptions can be made if a change in the contents of the

tarball

(e.g., someone forgot to add the LICENSE file). Otherwise, if a change

in

the CVS needs to be incorporated, it becomes a new release (with a new
vote).

Other projects, such as Avalon, also roll jars and then vote on them as

a

Release. So I was just asking to understand what is established as

policy

here. I wasn't challenging Henri's release.
