Why not? Please elaborate your reasons. Is 1.8 the latest release you ever want to do or do you think 2.0 is too early right now? Or, to attack this from another angle, how about adding a second API layer so users can choose? I could either create a set of "NCE" (No Checked Exception) methods along with the existing ones or a copy of the packages into sub-package called nce. I'm not sure which one would be the better approach. On a related note, I'm currently writing a "BeanWriter" which can convert beans to strings, XML and Java (for test cases). It's similar to serialization but the configuration happens in the writer, not in the classes to write out. I have based this code on my patch. It wouldn't be too hard to port it back to the 1.8 API but I'd prefer to use the new one, of course :-) Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a.
