please correct me if i am off here, but my understanding is that this is not really "ANOTHER" commons. this is a proposal to pull out and group a subset of existing commons subprojects with the intent of simplifying and clarifying the current jumble that is commons. if anything, this looks to me like a step in the direction you are advocating. once like commons components are gathered together there may be potential to package them into one release. impeding it because it does not immediately go as far as you want it to seems picky. or do you really think these ought to be left alongside things like Jelly and ultimately packaged with them?? > > - each component will have no dependencies > > - each component will have no configuration > > - each component provides an extension to the JavaSE > > - code judged by would it be out of place in the JavaSE > > - a component typically has a broad API (many callable methods) > > - each method typically does relatively little processing > > - have mailing lists (language-user/language-dev) > > - not have a sandbox > > - use [EMAIL PROTECTED] ML (new) for cross group issues > > > > Stephen > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > -Andy > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
