Good point, and that occurred to me as well. However I think Jestr is a little different from the ToStringBuilder stuff because it isn't necessarily concerned with helping you implement toString() methods; instead, it's more concerned with helping you log *arbitrary* objects, even if you don't have access to their source code to change their toString() methods.
One could also argue that Jestr belongs as a subpackage under Commons Logging, but since Commons Logging is explicitly *not* an implementation of anything but merely a thin interface, Jestr doesn't seem to really belong there either. --David ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Shapira, Yoav" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "Jakarta Commons Developers List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2004 09:48:48 -0500 > >Hi, >Is this too close to commons-lang ToStringBuilder/ToStringStyle >(http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/lang/apidocs/org/apache/commons/lang/ >builder/ToStringBuilder.html) to be a separate project? > >Yoav Shapira >Millennium ChemInformatics > > >>-----Original Message----- >>From: David Gilliland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 9:54 AM >>To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Subject: Proposal for the Commons Sandbox >> >>I have recently started a project in the Java Foundry on Sourceforge >called >>"Jestr", and it seems like it might be a natural fit for the Jakarta >>Commons project.
