Personally I think that commons is a bit TOO open. I'm not sure the Java world can suffer another project designed to throw us into circular dependency hell. These little mini-component projects that all depend on each other combined with the inherent crappiness of Java classloading (.NET does this better) are just misery to those of us who have to work with them and support real people using them. I don't think it is "deep end" "shallow end" -- it is that these are all interdependent and versioned seperately and then end up with different parts of apache requiring vers 1 and others requiring 1.1 and 1 having a horrible bug in it.

I hope to help in "dealing with" roC.


Yep, that's my chief point on the thirty four pieces, not two pieces - the roC still needs solutions. Yet more where we should be thinking about our project (Jakarta) and not just making one step (JLC) and being happy with
it.

I expressed a similar opinion in response to the JLC proposal on
commons-dev. Given that we're in this mess with intermingling threads
on commons-dev@ and general@, forgive me for cross-posting that as a
hyperlink:

Yep, I agree with your email there.

Sorry for snapping,

Hen
