> Positioning of Beehive/JSR-175 annotations relative to Apache
> commons-attributes
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEEHIVE-74
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-74
> Project: Beehive
> Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Versions: V1Alpha
> Environment: FAQ pages
> Reporter: Michael Merz
> Assignee: Jeremiah Johnson
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: V1Alpha
>
> Can we add a bullet item to the FAQ section that explains the position of
> Beehive (and its use of JSR-175 annotations) relative to commons-attributes.
> This seems to be a repeating theme on the list. [Apache's commons-attributes
> provide non-standard "language extensions" with goals similar to JSR-175
> annotations for JDKs older than 1.5.]
> The answer -- distilled from previous discussions -- being that all of the
> existing Beehive code depends on JDK 1.5 anyway (use of generics,etc.) and
> that the programming model is fundamentally based on JSR 175 annotations.
> Consequently, alternative support for commons-attributes (and older JDKs) is
> not a goal for Beehive.
