I've begun to migrate code out of Utils and into some of the new packages. Currently I've created a lang package and moved the relevant code into the codec package. I've also finished the migration of code to IO, removing the old classes and also sending HexDump on over.
One issue of this is that at the moment, XmlUtils and GenerateUniqueId both fail to compile due to dependency on String[Util]s. As does RequestUtils. Here's my list of migration issues and the ones completed tonight: ****************************** Utils Dispersion ---------------- New lang package. Needs a PROPOSAL. [ALL DONE] org.apache.commons.lang.Strings - remove metaphone and soundex methods. org.apache.commons.lang.Objects org.apache.commons.lang.Classes org.apache.commons.lang.Numbers org.apache.commons.lang.exception.NestableDelegate.java org.apache.commons.lang.exception.NestableRuntimeException.java org.apache.commons.lang.exception.Nestable.java org.apache.commons.lang.exception.NestableException.java IO package. [DONE] Rename FileUtils to Files Rename StreamUtils to Streams Remove LockableFileWriter from Util. Move HexDump over to IO. Codec package. [DONE] Soundex, SoundexComparator, Metaphone move here. Base64 remove from Util New servlet package. Needs a PROPOSAL. org.apache.commons.servlet.Https [Bad Name?] org.apache.commons.servlet.Requests org.apache.commons.servlet.BrowserDetector Collections package. Move CollectionsUtils to Collections as ?, merge? Move MapUtils over to Collections as Maps. SequencedHashtable and BufferCache to be removed. EnumerationIterator to be removed. Transfer StringStack to Collections. Util retains [and stays in sandbox currently] org.apache.commons.util.GenerateUniqueId org.apache.commons.util.Xml org.apache.commons.util.BitField org.apache.commons.util.compare.* org.apache.commons.util.lru.* *********************************** The next steps (reading from above) are to: 1) create the new servlet package and migrate the http sub-directory there. 2) migrate collections based code over to Collections and clean up. 3) ensure remaining classes compile in the util package. This will involve a level of dependency, so this issue must be tackled too. While I'm happy to try all of them, I'm not sure I currently have a servlet itch, so would be a poor choice to write the proposal for number 1. I plan get them done tomorrow night though, even if I just make a http dir, create a relatively vague proposal and leave it ownerless. I'm not sure if that breaks regulations or not. I apologise for the 3 currently uncompiling classes, and if I misunderstood anyones opinions in the targets for migration. I think what I've done matches everyone's shared views.
