Dan Armbrust commented on NET-187:
----------------------------------
Well, I asked Rory that exact question, and he thought it would be fine to add
if it didn't complicate things.
A TFTP server is a natural fit with the TFTP client - and this one is
implemented entirely on commons net - and there I haven't found any other
reasonable open source java TFTP server in any other project. This isn't
something like a Tomcat server. Its here, it works, and many people could use
it. It's simple, and self contained. It doesn't bring in any other
dependencies.
Quite frankly, I think you need to keep it just so you can keep the JUnit tests
that I included. Your TFTP client has been broken for years, because it was
never properly tested after various patches were applied.
With the new tests, and the server, you can at least be confident that the
client doesn't have any regression failures.
And I think that argument easily outweighs the the mission statement of only
doing client protocols.
