Commons collections is a large jar file. Some users have issue with
that. Those users tend to complain most about the functor part, which is
an area of more religious feeling than the rest of collections.
I want to float the idea therefore of splitting the functors away from
collections. This was done once before with primitives.
Proposal A is to create a new commons proper component [functors] which
contains the functors subpackage and the four functor *Utils classes and
releasing commons-functors.jar. The package name would not change (this
is as per [primitives]). This proposal works because [functors] and
[collections] could easily be on different release schedules.
Proposal B is to just release [collections] as two jars,
commons-collections (no functors) and commons-collections-functor.
Thoughts?
