I really thought this is what we discussed and agreed upon a couple of weeks ago so I'm still +1 on the idea :-). I think the new validators are useful but shouldn't impact the core framework's dependencies. > > Let me see if I can get a 1.1.3 core release out, and then we could see > about a companion 1.13 opt release. > > -Ted. > > On Tue, 08 Jun 2004 12:13:22 -0400, Don Brown wrote: > > Just curious, why are we against adding code that has additional > > dependencies only if you actually use it? In general, it seems these things have a way of creeping into other areas of the code so you end up with the dependency growing. Just look at how Validator uses one class out of the entire Commons Collections dependency. That particular dependency is inherited from BeanUtils but Validator ended up using it just because it was there. Now we're having a difficult time separating from collections.
