What are the general opinions on maintaining a generic fork of Commons Collections?
My company has a some what sizable portion refactored or adapted into generic compatibly that I may be able to get released under the Apache License. Would such a project be welcomed by the community such that collections developers would be willing to provide feedback / advice to myself and other interested parties? Aside from breaking with backwards compatibility and migration compatibility with the Java Collections Framework, are there other reasons why this hasn't been done? There is a source forge project that once had a go at this ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/collections/develop), but their commit logs ended in 2007. I know of no other related projects. Are there any? -- Grant Overby Senior Developer FloorSoft, Inc. Often people, especially computer engineers, focus on the machines. They think, "By doing this, the machine will run faster. By doing this, the machine will run more effectively. By doing this, the machine will something something something." They are focusing on machines. But in fact we need to focus on humans, on how humans care about doing programming or operating the application of the machines. We are the masters. They are the slaves. -- Yukihiro Matsumoto
