Noel, I knew this from the beginning and support James 100% in this move. There is IMNSHO no other sensible thing that James could have done ATM.FWIW, we did take the file repository classes from Avalon and moved them into our codebase because we were told that the code was in Avalon only for us, and would not ever be fixed.
My apologies for the problems Avalon has given James. Gump should have warned us before, but it has not been working for too much time. We have to fix it. Sam is helping everybody to get back to making Gump build everything, and I've done it for POI using Centipede, for Centipede itself (geez, it really helped when Ant moved stuff to the main branch :-) and now giving a small hand for Cocoon.
I have a better idea. We are floating the possibility of opening our Component repository to the projects that are using Avalon, and that would include James. Would that be a deal?I'm willing to work with you on updating the HEAD to work with the curent Avalon code. I suspect that the best thing, so as not to foul up others would be to create a short-lived branch of James, put the new Avalon jars in that branch, and work on the James code until we can once again build and run. Then we can merge the Avalon jars and the changed code into HEAD.
And we can let GUMP warn us if someone changes interfaces again.
