Mike, I think you should give it another shot and file a proposal for URI classes to be moved into Commons sandbox project of its own. I do not think of deprecation of URI classes as a big issue. We may continue supporting our own copy of URI classes while commons-uri is the sandbox. I really think URL classes would clearly benefit from a greater visibility and a few more people looking at it on a regular basis.
As a last resort we can think of bringing our case to the entire Jakarta community where we may stand a better chance of getting enough interested people to justify the promotion of URI classes into a separate project Oleg On Tue, 2003-06-10 at 03:25, Michael Becke wrote: > I definitely agree that it would be best if URI had its own home > outside of HttpClient.
