The rsync between the ASF (and other places) and iBiblio is down since
Codehaus had problems. No idea on the eta for it come back
unfortunately. I've a hundred javadoc jars sitting and waiting :)

Yes. This is a basically good idea for a commons
project, although the name could be better.

Commons-collections is too big. It was deliberately
broken out to make both parts managable.


This project did have quite an active life at first.
Where it floundered was that there were IIRC three
competing code implementations (not just designs). I
believe that all are currently in SVN. To revive this,
we would have to select one without excessive ego.

I also believe that Michael Heuer may have released
something related on java.net?

Commons-collections events

2006-06-06 Thread Bryce L Nordgren

Dear Jakarta Commons developers

I'm in the process of stealing (possibly forking) the dormant project
commons-events.  While I am highly motivated to adopt it as a baseline, I'd
be integrating it into a Geospatial library (GeoTools;
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/).  I'd really rather keep it
separate and refer to it by a dependency.  Would there be any interest in
reviving this project if I handed it back to Apache with tests, a maven 2
POM, and whatever fixins might be required to make it function?
Conversely, would anyone have advice on the current state of the code (what
to watch out for, etc.) for a person primarily interested in the
ObservableSet/Map/List/Collections?

As I am lazy and refactoring is work, I hope to sweet talk someone here
into taking commons-events back when I'm done with it. Maybe even release
it. :)

Progress may be observed at:
http://svn.geotools.org/geotools/branches/jts-wrapper/module/events/

Out of curiousity, is there any reason not to absorb commons-events back
into commons-collections?

Thanks,
Bryce

Yes.

Perhaps you and a few of your closest friends would like to contribute on an
on-going basis?

Why fork? ...why not re-surrecting it in commons?

...just currious.
