I'm adjusting the thread subject to reflect the fact that there is a vote going on for two things:
1. Acceptance of the new APT tag library (described below) 2. Acceptance of me as a committer to support the new apt tag library, if it gets accepted. So far, I have recorded three people voting positive for both proposals: Dion Gillard Hans Gilde Paul Libbrecht APT Tag Library Description --------------------------- The APT tag library is a new tag library for Jelly that provides tags for working with the new Java 5 Annotation Processing Tool (APT). I believe this tag library would be very useful for developers who wish to use APT to generate source code or other documents from java source. Included in the list of tags would be XDoclet-like tags that iterate through the declarations and types of a given source base when the JellyContext is populated with the AnnotationProcessingEnvironment. I have found Jelly could provide a much-needed abstraction on top of Sun's APT Mirror API that would make APT much more useable. Developers could write a simple Jelly script instead of implementing an AnnotationProcessor. The script would be a template of sorts for the generated documents. Basically, this tag library is to the APT api what JSP is to the Servlet API. Also, please consider the following: 1. The use of this tag library would require Java 5. 2. Associated closely with this libarary would be the relevant implemenation classes for com.sun.mirror.apt.AnnotationProcessor and any other APT-specific classes.
