Although I have already written the proposed TOC for this book, I was wondering if there is anything specific that everyone here would like to see in a book on Commons?
I had written an article at OnJava.com (http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/06/25/commons.html) that gave a review of most of the components in the repository. I thought that the book would be a natural extension as it would be more detailed and give a comprehensive discussion on these components. If anyone has any ideas on what such a book should cover or something that they would like to see in it, please let me know. Regards, Vikram ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig R.
