I agree that we need to join forces.
Actually, i have started experimenting with xbean-refect after having
seen your code :-)
If we are going to use generics in the implementation, it may be
easier to use the reflect package implementation classes that i wrote.
Anyway, I think the main difference is that the one Rick wrote allow
deep copy of values with a copy constructor. Rick, have you seen such
a need anywhere in the spec ?
Yes, there is a need for this in the spec, with NamespaceHandlers. The
current spec doesn't provide any helper classes for doing the parse()
and decorate() calls on NamespaceHandler, so it's necessary to to write
your own implementation classes for the reflection classes. This means
the extender implementation will be receiving back different
implementations of these classes after a call. Since we're likely to
want to hang additional references and implement additional methods in
the metadata implementations, a deep copy of modified metadata seemed
like the simplest solution.
While implementing the parser, I
haven't seen the need for it so I wonder if we need to keep that or
not.
The parser has dependencies on those classes, so we need to merge /
refactor here.
I'm currently working on integrating your code into mine, but we could
do the opposite if you prefer.

Btw, I'm not so sure iPojo is a good candidate for implementing the
blueprint service.
I've began doing some testing with xbean-reflect and I am able to
parse and instanciate very simple beans.
See:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/sandbox/gnodet/blueprint/org.apache.felix.blueprint/src/test/java/org/apache/felix/blueprint/WiringTest.java
and the blueprint xml

Since you're not using iPojo now there is no point of having two
separate efforts of implementing rfc124. So I think we should merge
into one project. For example, let's take your parser and integrate
with my (and Rick's) code and go from there. I already experimented
with xbean-reflect and I think it might work but will need some extra
modifications.
