How exactly are these users finding your personal email address? If it is through a personal @author tag within the source code, then that will no longer happen :-). Will this resolve your concern on this topic? Personally, I have no sympathy for java developers who are looking at a source code file containing the apache licence and the package declaration "org.apache.commons.digester" and still can't find the main website. I think we're probably better off without them! I'm not trying to push anybody one way or the other; I don't care too much, except that we have to resolve this one way or the other in order to get a release out the door. I guess if there isn't an obvious consensus, then we need a vote? On a separate issue, is there a BeanUtils release anywhere in the near future? It would be great to release Digester with the new BeanUtils and therefore no dependency on Collections.
