I guess this is due to the move to OpenSymphony. There was even a very
recent 3.0 release, so people *are* working on the project.
Ognl was moved to OpenSymphony more than 3 years ago. The original authors have
all left the project
and one of the Tapestry devs took over. So while someone might be working on it
I could not find the
source repository or active mailing lists.
The source repository is on github:
http://github.com/jkuhnert/ognl
and as you can see from the timeline:
http://github.com/jkuhnert/ognl/network
it was all the time under constant work.
Also regarding the javassist dependency, this shouldn't be a problem
cause the scope of the dependency is "provided":
http://github.com/jkuhnert/ognl/issues/closed#issue/2
Couldn't this functionality be included simply in Velocity Core?
It looks that many web frameworks/projects are using it, and some do
what Click does, other simply include VelocityTools JAR
- but mostly just for this single class.
That is a question for the Velocity devs. It would certainly be beneficial for
us.
Well, one of the Velocity Devs is also a Click dev, isn't he? :).
