Really? I find this statement a bit naive... The code is working as expected but when you are talking about API's exposed in an entire operating system, it's not very hard for me to imagine that there might be a lot of pieces that need to be refactored and documented before I want to expose them to hundreds of thousands of developers. There are also parts that you will want to remove or obfuscate, you will need to create a specific OS distribution, transfer from one repo to another, etc... Deciding to ship the product first and then the source second sounds perfectly natural to me. -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
