Did you purposefully quote me out-of-context? The full quote is: CleverSwine wrote: > I disagree.

Meaning: if you're claiming that people only used the constant interface anti-pattern to save keystrokes, I'm saying that's nonsense because said keystrokes could also have been saved with auto-suggest IDEs... which have been available for 10+ years (i.e., long before Java5 and during the use of the constant interface anti-pattern). Perhaps *some* people did it to save keystrokes, but more often than not people simply repeated bad designs and patterns perpetrated by others because they didn't know any better and/or didn't question and/or subscribe to copy-and-paste development. newton.dave wrote: > >> the only personal attack I think I've made was towards Chris. > > Which is completely out-of-line and inappropriate in this forum. > Sorry, I apologize for that. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/StrutsStatics...-tp15595866p15767479.html Sent from the Struts - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
