I think this hides a better point. You won't know how productive something is or isn't unless you try. Caution should of course be used in deciding when to try something, but waiting for the community to decide something is a good idea is often a less than ideal solution. If only because you'll simply be lagging an even slower technology trend than what is the latest craze. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
