Merge Bean-Collections back into core BeanUtils and remove Bean-Collections
sub-project
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: BEANUTILS-290
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-290
Project: Commons BeanUtils
Issue Type: Task
Components: Bean-Collections
Affects Versions: 1.7.0
Reporter: Niall Pemberton
Assignee: Niall Pemberton
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.8.0
This issue has been discussed in the following thread: http://tinyurl.com/2xdpku
For BeanUtils 1.7.0 the following classes which had a dependency on Commons
Collections were split into a separate "bean-collections" sub-module:
BeanComparator.java
BeanMap.java
BeanPredicate.java
BeanPropertyValueChangeClosure.java
BeanPropertyValueEqualsPredicate.java
BeanToPropertyValueTransformer.java
Three "flavours" of jars were released in 1.7.0
commons-beanutils.jar - containing all BeanUtils classes, including above
bean-collections ones
commons-beanutils-bean-collections.jar - containing just the above
bean-collections classes
commons-beanutils-core.jar - containing BeanUtils classes excluding above
bean-collections ones
BeanUtils 1.7.0 was created using ant and (I presume) the maven poms for the
above artifacts were manually created - unfortunately with mistakes:
1) The pom for commons-beanutils.jar DOESN'T declare any Commons Collections
dependency (which it has for the bean-collections classes)
2) The pom for commons-beanutils-core.jar DOES declare a Commons Collections
dependency (which it doesn't actually have)
The proposal for BeanUtils 1.8.0 (see http://tinyurl.com/2xdpku) is to merge
the bean-collections classes back into core BeanUtils and get rid of the
bean-collections sub-module - releasing just a single jar for BeanUtils and
marking the Commons Collections dependency as "optional" in the maven pom (see
http://tinyurl.com/2nm2bu).
