Couple of thoughts intermixed. A key one is whether "inactive" and "heading for dormancy" should mean the same thing. A stable library used by other projects, with no significant bugs, seems to fit the former descriptor, while a project nobody uses or cares about would certainly fit the latter. That kind of distinction is not clear in your first crack at ranking these things.
Definitely different things. Inactive means there's not much work going on it, it's the opposite of active. It's a symptom. Dormancy is a plan. Maintenance would be another. Release planned would be another. I think the key difference between dormancy and maintenance is that in the latter case there is someone who is monitoring it. DbUtils is definitely in Maintenance - I've no plans to work on a new release and don't know of anyone who is, but if the issues show up then I'll be aiming to get involved and get a release out.

The specific EL version this implemented was before the separation of the JSP 2.1 / JSF 1.2 expression language APIs into their own spec. Ideally, this library would become an implementation of that API ... otherwise dormancy seems reasonable.
I don't think Tomcat uses it anymore, so I think it's dormant time.

I sometimes suspect we are the major Maven1 users :)

Daemon too. Dims did a release of Modeler recently, so someone else uses it too. Hen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
