Hello, I've started work on dom4j 2.0 - compatible with Java 5, generics, enums etc. I'd like to clean code (remove methods marked as deprecated in previous version), use new classes from Java 5 where possible, implement new DOM interfaces and other. Version 2.0 will be notfully backward compatible with 1.6.1 (therefore version 2.0), but in typical program using dom4j there will be no need for change in source code. I switched to Maven 2 build system and Mercurial source code management system. I'd like to revitalize dom4j, release new version 2.0 and maintain it. "Home page" for version 2.0 is temporarily at http://www.jirsak.org/projects/dom4j/ - you can view source code here and download Mercurial repository packed in tar.bz2. If somebody has some comments, ideas or patches, please send it to dom4j-dev@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list.
If nobody is against it, I'd like to change dom4j.sourceforge.net and dom4j.org to homepage of dom4j 2.0 and conserve current pages for 1.6.1 version (for compatibility with Java 1.4). James, Maarten and Bob, do you agree? Is it possible to give me appropriate rights to move dom4j 2.0 to dom4j.sourceforge.net and conserve current pages. My SF account is "filipjirsak" - https://sourceforge.net/users/filipjirsak/ . I hope stable version of dom4j 2.0 will be released after years of stable 1.6.1. Yours sincerely, Filip Jirsák ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
