Remove copied Collections classes
---------------------------------
Key: BEANUTILS-379
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-379
Project: Commons BeanUtils
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Bean / Property Utils
Affects Versions: 1.8.3
Reporter: Niall Pemberton
In BeanUtils 1.7 four classes were copied from Commons Collections with the aim
of removing that dependency:
* ArrayStack
* Buffer
* BufferUnderflowException
* FastHashMap
However there are other classes within BeanUtils that depend on Commons
Collections (e.g. BeanMap) - so three flavours of jars were created:
* commons-beanutils.jar (all classes)
* commons-beanutils-core.jar (core beantils which doesn't require Commons
Collections)
* commons-beanutils-bean-collections.jar (classes dependant on Commons
Collections)
This situation is a bit of a mess an is causing issues such as BEANUTILS-378
I suggest the following action is taken in the next 1.x BeanUtils release:
* remove the copied Commons Collections classes
* add Commons Collections as a dependency
* Only produce the one commons-beanutils.jar
Removing the dependency on the four collections classes is more difficult as
some of them are in BeanUtils API
