Hi Wolfgang, It's great that the bugfix release has driven some interest onto the lists for improving the library. Validation sounds very useful - is it something that you think Commons Validator would be useful for, or do the use cases not quite match?
Brian and others... any thoughts? CLI future wise, I think we're looking at: * CLI 1.2. Consider whether a bugfix release is required. Make small changes, nothing too huge. * CLI2. Need to get the 17 2.0 issues taken care of and look to releasing CLI 2.0 [or CLI2 1.0]. There seems to be enough interest in CLI2 for us to move to this.
