Dear All, I have raised 2 changes wrt archetypes (wrt regex'es and superclass content in subclasses) & a thought occurred which had been troubling me for a while which is:
Where exactly are these changes made/agreed to etc? i.e. wrt say HL7 (or other std orgs I have been involved with (e.g. the W3C) there are technical committees where I would put these changes, possibly there would be a trac/bugzilla so that things don't "slip off the radar", votes would be taken & recorded etc. I have been looking at the java archetype code & have been considering putting some time in there but.....how would I know that the code is up to a given standard (e.g. say if the regex requirement was changed or the super/subclass thing was resolved) given I can find no such committee? i.e. if changes were agreed to then the java tools, ocean tools etc should all produce the same results. This can only be the case if the changes/standards etc are out in the open such that coders can have sufficient pre-warning of impending changes (or indeed possibly wholly new structures) in advance so that different tooling in different languages by different groups be the coordinated. i.e. if I were to generate XML from ADL using the ocean tools will I get the same result as if I were to wrap the java tools as ant tasks & use them for the same purpose? How would I know? Adam ********************************************************************** This message may contain confidential and privileged information.
