Well, my need is the sandbox - so I can experiment and understand the
many things
that happened in the last years.

I didn't propose any major refactoring or new requirements - I might
need 2-3 lines of code changed in the main branch for single-jar ( it
works now with the main branch as is, but it's not
perfect ). For NIO - all I want is to see for myself how it works and
what it can do. That's what the  sandbox is supposed to do.

If you want to maintain your own tree and have some new requirements -
say so, and maybe they can go in the main branch, or maybe if they are
extremely unusual ( I doubt ) in sandbox.

Again, 'designed' is a too strong word. "Toyed with" maybe.

Everything has bugs :-)

Yes, that is my point - it looks similar, but I had problems to
understand the differences. It's not
about comments or documentation - but about the code organization,
looking at the diffs was my
only way to understand.

Again, I don't want to touch something that works - just to
understand, and maybe create a similar prototype using NIO. Or maybe a
smaller APR connector that I can play with in 'coyote
standalone' mode ( I want to keep it as small as possible ). Or maybe
try to write a small NIO provider using APR ( and put to rest this
debate about what is better ). I don't know - just want to play in the
sandbox :-)
