> Removed from UtilCache the ability to persist entries in the file system.
> This feature has been contributed a long time ago as an experimental feature
> but never really matured into a production ready artifact: since it was
> contributed, no users asked about how to use it, or tested it, or reported
> bugs or enhancement requests.
> More importantly, the feature has always been disabled in the OFBiz framework
> (i.e. the widget code and the entity engine code were not using it).
> This removal should not impact our user base; however, after the removal, an
> entry to the Attic will be created to keep track of it and to make it easier,
> to interested users, to get this code, improve it (e.g. by making it
> dependent on a live external jar, for example MapDB instead of JDBM) and
> possibly contribute it back to the project.
> The most compelling reason for its removal is that the feature was based on a
> snapshot, unreleased version of JDBM, which is now a mostly dead project: for
> licensing reasons we are no more allowed to bundle jars in our releases.
> Additionally, having code that relies an old jar from a no more active
> project represents a maintenance issue for the community.
