Matt Benson closed COMMONSSITE-19.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
With regard to creating new commons components, I'd say you were misinformed
when a list member suggested you enter these as JIRA issues. Please see:
http://commons.apache.org/oldcharter.html for a rough idea of the process by
which a new component could be started in Commons (by somone who is not already
an ASF committer). Further, on this proposal you've already had on-list
feedback from two Commons PMC members suggesting that this package, while
wholly worthwhile in concept, would represent--as far as we can tell--a
duplication of effort wrt > 1 existing package, so contributing to those
efforts might be a better use of your time. It's hard to perceive any benefit
to starting a competing effort in Apache Commons. I realize you had entered
this issue before receiving PMC feedback, so please don't read this as you
being scolded for following through on the advice you were given to create a
JIRA issue.

> Project Proposal: Physics / Measuring
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: COMMONSSITE-19
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMMONSSITE-19
> Project: Commons All
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Environment: Java 5.0 and higher, all platforms
> Reporter: Matt Rothe
>
> The measuring project is a physics related library containing classes for all
> sorts of measuring units, their prefixes and measurables, objects that take a
> subtype of Number and a measuring unit.
> Those measurables will be capable of converting themselves into target
> measurables of the same or a related measuring unit. Say you have an object
> of the measurable type meters and want to convert it to miles. All you would
> need to do is passing the meters object the desired measuring unit and prefix
> and you'd get a new measurable of the target unit and prefix and the
> converted value.
> Furthermore all measurables, measuring units and prefixes will be able to
> tell their names (and values) in a locale sensitive way, either abbreviated
> (e.g. km) or fully (e.g. kilometer).
