Obviously you think it does enough, Ted, or you wouldn't have written
it.
Does this model work for Jakarta? I mean, you would be a 'Jakarta
player', etc, etc
If so, that sounds like it would make Costin happy, and cement the
Jakarta community idea.
If not, why not, and more importantly, where is the boundary? I imagine
some of what we propose could be just as 'project-like' as log4j, oro,
regex, etc.. and they appear to function just fine as is.
Not trying to stir mud here, but this has been a fundamental point of
debate for almost the life of this discussion. From my limited exposure
to it, the Jakarta model does work, and I don't understand why we need
to improvise. If it doesn't work, then this may be a great venue to try
and improve it (and I am all for that), but I think we should identify
specific problems and target them.
(Although doing it to avoid bothering Brian B is a good reason in itself
:)
