Publishing only an API or perhaps maknig everything available in source form etc doesnt really change the fact for me that interface and internals are really just views from different observers of the same thing. Whether i give you a nice text file or you have to reverse engineer some binary really does not make an difference you can still "see" my and learn about my creation that is my api. Its just nicer and perhaps makes your product more appealing for others if thats your wish if you publish your apis rather than make others reverse engineer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
