What about a plugable discovery mechanism?
I want to volunteer to implement something like that since I have a couple
of discovery needs that I would not want to impose on other people.
I have seen so many remarks on this and on WebMacro's list that it looks
like a plugable mechanism makes a lot of sense, since what some people want
often goes against the interest of others.
The one thing that seems to make sense is to keep Velocity with a standard
discovery mechanism as much compatible as possible to the beans standard,
while allowing people to plug their own mechanism at Run Time.
In my case, I would even want to use a of couple different mechanisms
depending on the specific needs of each project.
By the way, is the loader unification issue still open? I have some interest
on implementing that one too, including some simple JDBC support.
Have fun,
Paulo Gaspar
