Folks, as described in previous posts and inspired by the fine proposal for email promotion I would like to see the transaction component
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/transaction/ promoted to commons proper. The initial committers would be Stefan L�tzkendorf, James Mason, Daniel Florey and me. AFAIK none of us is a committer in commons proper so the promotion would include making as committers there. We all are Jakarta Slide committers and this is where the component came from. We factored out code for a transactional file system, transactional maps (implementing Map interface) with different ACID strategies, general purpose locks and a few more helper classes. Junit tests exist for all parts and succeed: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/transaction/junit-report.html Javadoc is pretty complete http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/transaction/apidocs/index.html and general documentation and even a short tutorial for locks exist: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/transaction/locks/tutorial.html The transaction component is stable enough to be released as a 1.0 soon after promotion and would initially be maintained by the committers of the Slide community. Once promoted growth is anticipated as even in the sandbox it attracted some attention. As I am not a commons committer, I have no binding vote, but my non-binding vote of course is +1.
