Does CLI fit into the picture? Or do you feel that there are issues with it that would prevent it from becoming part of the proposed JLC? > I currently believe these are related, but out of scope: > [beanutils] - logging is an issue > [pool] - is pooling more J2EE than J2SE > [oro]/[regexp] - specialised knowledge > [math] - specialised, has dependencies > > Jakarta Language Components will: > - develop multiple independent components > - each component will have no dependencies > - each component will have no configuration > - each component provides an extension to the J2SE > - code judged by would it be out of place in the J2SE > - a component typically has a broad API (many callable methods) > - each method typically does relatively little processing > - have mailing lists (user/dev/commit) I think the project should continue to have just user and development mailing lists, unless list traffic gets to such a point where people are complaining of the volume. If you take Linux, for example, it's a very large project with a very high volume mailing list encompassing all disparate concerns in the Linux kernel. Maybe the cost of splitting the community mailing lists into many small lists is high, and the payoff isn't great? > - not have a sandbox > - use jakarta-general (or jakarta-dev?) for cross group issues Would the JLC be distributed as one jar file? If so, could JLC components depend on each other? What are your opinions on distribution issues like that? > Stephen Thanks.
