Stephen, Has there been any thought to creating an optional Commons Collections "Contrib" project? If users want to use it, they can. If not, they can stick to the core collections classes (which we could keep small). Sorry if this has already been addressed, but I have not been monitoring this list for a while.

Two things here, firstly I have been the main maintainer of [collections] for a while, but have been focussed on JodaTime recently. Secondly, [collections] faces a size problem. [collections] could accept many good ideas (there are hundreds of good possibilities for predicates, and I've already rejected four or five), and this is another good idea. However, there has to be a scope limit and boundary at some point. This refusal to add too much more to [collections] is due to - the lack of active maintainers - the size of the resulting jar file - the negative reaction to [collections] 3.0 Which is a long way of saying, Good Idea, but -1 on adding it to [collections]. Stephen ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Carman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Matthew, Ok, I was just getting worried there. Usually the developers are somewhat quick to respond. I at least expected something like "good idea" or "that's stupid." :-) James -----Original Message----- From: matthew.hawthorne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 6:51 PM To: Jakarta Commons Developers List Subject: Re: [collections] PATCH: Add CollectionContainsPredicate...

Nobody has responded to your message for 2 days -- but that definitely doesn't mean that nobody is monitoring [collections]. It just means that nobody has had the time to respond. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
