cglib is currently an internal dependency that's hidden from users so using commons proxy would not change the public API, except to let them choose which proxy to use - it would also add a level of indirection internally, and may make Guice slightly harder to setup (as the proxy libraries would then be managed externally) so imho this wouldn't be a huge gain, compared to other features on the issues list (and I wouldn't want it to delay the next release) I'm not sure whether it does though or how well it is maintained. > well, I'm sure James can answer that ;) I did notice that it still has a dependency on cglib 2.1_3, which has a race condition - but I assume cglib 2.2 can be dropped in without any recompilation > Gili > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > On Oct 16, 10:42 pm, "James Carman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > >> Would the Google Guice project be interested in using Apache Commons > >> Proxy (http://commons.apache.org/proxy/)?
