Since you mentioned not breaking backwards compatibility I started working on a fresh implementation which I think is coming along very well and I intend to contribute back to the commons.
I've uploaded JavaDocs of what progress I've made so far. I figure I'm about 45% done not including unit tests. See the org.mcarthur..... package: JavaDocs for only the public interface: http://sandy.mcarthur.org/pool/Pool-Protected/ JavaDocs including private members: http://sandy.mcarthur.org/pool/Pool-Private/ I am interested in becoming a commiter someday.
