Hi,

I might be joining this party a little late, but what value do Commons Collections developers feel there might be in splitting Commons Collections into multiple JARs?

I'm all in favour of removing deprecated code, but when I think of JAR splitting I think of what happened with Ant 1.6.x - I know plenty of developers that now refuse to upgrade Ant. I'd be interested to hear arguments in favour of splitting up Commons Collections. :)

Steve.

Plan for collections 3.2
------------------------
Agree contents
(notably, I'd like to remove BoundedBuffer)

Check bugs

Build and release in single jar format


Plan for collections 4.0
------------------------
Break collections into smaller jars
(either as one project or multiple)

Remove deprecations (maybe to a deprecated jar)

Looking ahead a bit further, at what point might the following issues
being addressed, if at all?

 - bringing external jdk1.5/generics project(s) back to commons

 - deprecating [collections] functor in favor of [functor] project

 - resolving Collection contract violations in Bag interface

 - AbstractHashedMap design improvements (Bugzilla Bug 27231)
