Matt Benson commented on LANG-416:
----------------------------------
Thanks for your candor, Niall. I am very enthusiastic that Morph has the
capacity to be split into the right components to be a nice next-gen for
BeanUtils. We'll see. As for [reflect], it doesn't show up on the dormant nor
sandbox sections of the site, so I had missed it originally, thanks for the
pointer. Looks small, and somewhat telling that it contains a CommonsLang
class, which "Avoids dependency on Commons Lang by copying code to this class."
I understand the motivation here, but is [reflect] simply too damned small?
:) Is it possible Commons Lang (Reflect) could be a subset jar produced by
[lang]? Or could svn externals create [reflect] from [lang]'s code without
ongoing synchronization? I'm going to keep going down the road I've been going
down for now, and we can then retire the discussion of [reflect] vs. [lang] vs.
[door #3] to the dev list before making any permanent decisions wrt Lang
2.5/3.0. How's that?
> 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 encountered was used, but this comment seems to have been outdated).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.
