Benoit Tellier commented on JAMES-3205:
---------------------------------------
Good catch!
We did not do that move as Java8 immutable collection support is marked as Beta.
Here is what Guava have been documenting for Beta APIs:
{code:java}
* Signifies that a public API (public class, method or field) is subject to
incompatible changes,
* or even removal, in a future release. An API bearing this annotation is
exempt from any
* compatibility guarantees made by its containing library. Note that the
presence of this
* annotation implies nothing about the quality or performance of the API in
question, only the fact
* that it is not "API-frozen."
*
* <p>It is generally safe for <i>applications</i> to depend on beta APIs, at
the cost of some extra
* work during upgrades. However it is generally inadvisable for
<i>libraries</i> (which get
* included on users' CLASSPATHs, outside the library developers' control) to
do so.
{code}
If we accept that risk of API changes, then it makes perfect sense.
Maybe we could consider other options than Guava for immutable collection
support, which is our main guava use case?
