Gary D. Gregory updated IMAGING-358:
------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.0.0-alpha6
(was: 1.0.0-alpha5)
> "RationalNumber" class is "public"
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: IMAGING-358
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAGING-358
> Project: Commons Imaging
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: imaging.common.*
> Affects Versions: 1.0-alpha2
> Reporter: Gilles Sadowski
> Priority: Major
> Labels: API, support
> Fix For: 1.0.0-alpha6
>
>
> As per its Javadoc, class
> [{{RationalNumber}}|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-imaging/apidocs/org/apache/commons/imaging/common/RationalNumber.html]
> is tuned to the requirements of the TIFF format while its name purports that
> it's a general implementation of the "fraction" concept.
> Which is it?
> Do we want that utility to be part of [Imaging]'s public API (thus eliciting
> support to application developers who might use it beyond its intended scope)?
> A dependency on [[Numbers]'s "fraction"
> module|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-numbers/commons-numbers-docs/apidocs/org/apache/commons/numbers/fraction/package-summary.html],
> as proposed in IMAGING-309) would avoid the issue, and also consolidate
> (and/or help find potential bugs in) [Numbers]'s implementation.
> If that proposal is not accepted, {{RationalNumber}} should preferably be
> moved to [Imaging]'s [{{internal}}
> package|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-imaging/apidocs/org/apache/commons/imaging/internal/package-summary.html].
