I'd just put comments at the top of the classes in the javadocs, maybe just at the main entry points.

The contrib patch is already committed. So DIH must be going into

Yes, that is my plan.



If new features/fixes come up later the new jar can be dropped in and
nothing else must break.

Yeah, I think we can put in DIH and mark it as experimental for this
release, and not be so concerned about backwards compatibility. I have some
use cases that I don't think fit with the current implementation, but
haven't had time to work on them. Most of them have to do with dealing with
lighter weight "on the fly" configurations.  I think it is perfectly
reasonable to want send in a select statement and have it executed. I also think there may be an issue with JDBC drivers being present when doing configuration, but that is minor. I'm also not sure on the connection handling code, but these are discussions for the issue, not this thread.

If someone can go through and mark it as experimental on the patch (if it hasn't been done already) that would be good. Something to the effect that the DIH APIs are subject to change in the next release. Caveat Emptor.



If all the the external interfaces/(API & XML) are fine, any other
changes that might come up later should be OK

We have had some discussion on the use of interfaces versus abstract
classes.  I need to revisit it and have a look again.
