Subject: Re: James 2.4 and repositories...
The reasoning behind the choice to merge MailRepository to SpoolRepository
and introduce a new MessageRepository instead of migrating MailRepository
to MessageRepository is:
1st. Greater backward compatibility: if we completely refactor the
MailRepository much more "third party" code will become deprecated
2nd. Avoid confusion: MessageRepository will only store MimeMessage and
not the envelope informations of the Mail object. MailRepository currently
store both, so people could expect this to be also true for a refactored
MailRepository.
I won't be confused if you don't change anything, that does not add
functionality.
If there are new/changed interfaces, new names and the code is actually
doing the same as before, it makes it harder and not easier for those who
know the current code.
