I'd like to call a formal vote on dropping the bsf-engines.jar from BSF3 releases.
The reasons for this are: - it's not possible to selectively include just the factories one wants. This can cause a clash with other factories that may be required. - the jar is just a repackaging of factories from a 3rd party. It does not add any code. - the user must still download the engine separately. - some of the factories require additional classes to be present otherwise Java 1.6 fails to register *any* factories. - many engines now come with their own factories (and that is the way forward) [Note that previous releases of bsf-engines.jar will of course continue to be available from the archives.] Please vote: [ ] +1, OK, drop bsf-engines.jar from future releases [ ] -1, No, keep the engines (must provide a reason) Vote will remain open for at least 72 hours. Thanks for your attention. S/// --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
