Niall Pemberton commented on LANG-416:
--------------------------------------
I am hoping to release BeanUtils 1.8.0 - but after that I'm not sure. BeanUtils
is less relevant with the advent of the "independant EL", grew (IMO) too big
in scope (conversion at least should be a separate component) and is hampered
by the existing API. Since there doesn't seem to be anyone else interested,
then I guess its in maintenance mode and therefore duplicating its
functionality, rather than developing within BeanUtils is probably a reasonable
route.
I believe Stephen was referring to "reflect" and not "clazz":
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/dormant/reflect/
...although perhaps theres stuff relevant in both. I could see this area
growing quite big, so perhaps reflect should be resurrected, rather than
putting it in lang - but I guess that decision could wait until theres
something concrete that could be considered for release and an idea about
future growth of that area.
> Import MethodUtils and ConstructorUtils from BeanUtils
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LANG-416
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-416
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Matt Benson
> Fix For: 3.0
>
>
> Mentioned on the mailing list... After we release 2.4 I'd like to:
> - import ConstructorUtils
> - make CU.getMatchingAccessibleConstructor() public
> - import MethodUtils
> - factor best-match calculation code out of MethodUtils into abstract
> superclass MemberUtils, make ConstructorUtils extend MemberUtils and use the
> same code (be on the lookout for ways to improve best-match calcs; my
> original description was based on javadoc that said the first matching method
> encountered was used, but this comment seems to have been outdated).
> - merge any other duplicate (or near-duplicate) code from CU/MethodU into
> MemberU and remove anything else that doesn't make sense in the context of
> Lang.
