How are we deciding on the Java Futures? Are we voting? Just talking? There are wide ranging views here, from add no more (JDK1.5 was bad enough) to add everything but the kitchen sink.
The wiki has some simpler ideas which haven't been shouted down yet, like jar in jar and access to the Class from a static context. I also think we could leverage Jakarta Commons to get small useful methods added in a review and tidy up of the core libraries (which is desparately needed). Perhaps we could agree on these? Could I suggest on language features, that our best approach would be to ask Sun to allow us to discuss (in private if necessary) their proposed additions in the next few months. That way we can feedback early our experiences and maybe avoid adding unecessary or innappropriate 'features'. (Personally I am on the side of most of the JDK1.5 additions being poor choices that harm Java) Stephen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
