Broken collarbone as of Sunday, so I'll be quick/short... typing is mosly 1-handed at the moment.

And in 3 years, I haven't seen those other things change much at all. I'd be willing to help move/maintain (fwiw) those other things as sub-areas of the jakarta-velocity-tools project out of the desire just to get them out of core, and make things seem a bit more logical. The broad semantics of the word "tool" is exactly the reason why I can easily see these things which are not CORE going into Velocity Tools, that and the indisputable fact that somebody at some time filed them into a "Tools" category on the website, so I'm not the first idiot to come up with the idea. But I'm not interested in this little argument... so that stuff will probably live on cluttering up the core, because no better alternative has been given to putting them into jakarta-velocity-tools. Ah well, I'm going to be forced to use JSTL instead of Velocity soon anyhow. ;-) Cheers, Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
