This is my plan:
0. Rename package to org.apache.commons.attributes and do
that renaming stuff.
1. Move the stuff into the Commons Sandbox CVS.
(jakarta-commons-sandbox/attributes-2.0)
2. Get the thing to compile.
3. Get the website to build and figure out how to publish it. (And
publish it.)
4. Figure out how to do releases and do a 2.0alpha release
right away, so we get it used in anger ASAP.
5. Implement attributes in nested classes, incorporate bugfixes for
2.0alpha, get a Maven plugin for it -> release 2.0beta.
6. Everything OK -> release 2.0.
Time for the above about one to one and a half week.
Right now I think I'll have to get back to you regarding the
help stuff. It's three things:
1. How to use Maven to publish a website.
2. How to use Maven to release a version.
3. Testing of the code in anger. (I.e. does the API make
sense, is it usable?)
I'll have to dig into (1) and (2) myself first, but I think
I'll probably come back for help. Regarding (3), as soon as
2.0alpha is out, then you can help!
I'm also very open to criticism of the current API.
Basically, would you like to use it, or does it make your
code look bad?
Any questions are also welcome - I'm assembling a FAQ for the
project. As a matter of fact, I intend for the manual to be
mainly a very simple tutorial followed by a FAQ, and hope
that users will enjoy the tutorial's simplicity enough to dig
into it and end up in the FAQ.
