Go back to the original discussion. Essentially all components should not
rely on external frameworks but should use the JavaBeans style standards.
Any code that makes it into commons is either free of the framework or
allowed in with the assumption that it will be refactored to be free of the
framework.
As a sharing mechanism between projects commons with it's centralized
control is bound to fail - but then again you know my opinion on that.
Decentralizng control was one of the things that could of made it work
combined with cjan. Oh well...
Cheers,
Pete
