Yes, the plan was to split two of the three implementations (cli and avalon) into branches and actively develop cli2 in the trunk > > What is the recommended migration path for downstream projects?

There may also be a cli facade onto cli2 which would allow any bugfixes to cli2 to be incorporated automatically The cli branch can be found at /jakarta/commons/proper/cli/branches/cli-1.0.x/ the avalon branch is /jakarta/commons/proper/cli/branches/avalon-implementation/ Andrew Shirley --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
