+1. I don't really see the point of the asMapEntry() method either. If someone wants the entries, they could just do it the old fashioned way [Map.entrySet().iterator()]. Stephen Colebourne wrote: The MapIterator interface has an asMapEntry() method that gets the current element at the

I'll take a guess. In the log message, you can tell that it didn't like your CVSROOT. It looks like you checked out the code using the extssh method in Eclipse? I believe that this is an Eclipse-only connect method, and command line CVS tools don't like it. Perhaps StatCvs doesn't detect

2003-11-06 Thread __matthewHawthorne
Here's a thought. One thing we might do to limit the proliferation of jars is to create a jar containing commons-math as all of its dependencies. Maven has an uberjar plugin that might be the ticket to creating such a jar. There ares risk with deploying such a jar as there might be version

This is a tough one. I've gone back and forth a few times, but I think I prefer the sandbox approach. In general, I like the idea of being able to create an ArrayIntList and use it as an IntList, List, or Collection. I find this easier and more efficient that having to create an adapter such

I, for one, like the idea of commons projects depending on each other when necessary. There is always a lot of controversy with regards to including another jar that I don't quite understand. I agree that if there are only 1 or 2 references, it may be reasonable to include the dependencies

Performance is always a strange issue. When you say that Flat3Map is faster than HashMap for = 3 gets/puts, I would think that you're talking about milliseconds. And, if an application has a performance problem, I would suspect that it isn't coming from wasted milliseconds caused by small
