Good point. Do what you are good at... :o) > More "general" resource management is much more difficult, as there is > no "general" kind of resource; just about every resource that is only > very loosely coupled tocode will be more specific to a (category of) > problem space(s). Let's create the expertise. IMHO, generalizations are only possible after experiencing enough specifics, to be able to recognize the abstractions. It is almost impossible to bring a general solution to the table with going through a larger set of specific use cases. But I feel we probably have enough use cases within the community to start this now. > If I'm to fully digest all the implications of your words, I think I'll > need a lot more "context". I learn well by example :D ;o) I learn by teaching !! My plan for the near future is to take the experience from my "Ant based packaging" (no special tasks) and extract what I think is useful, and put that forward as a starting point. I have also started to look into a Eclipse plug-in. > If there's people to do the work, again, IMO it fits our charter, > so I think we're pretty open that kind of thing. Overall, rather encouraging words. Thanks.
