Perhaps one option would be to release an "alpha" or "beta" version. As it stands I think very few people will take the time check out a branch from svn and build from source. Having said that, I releases a BeanUtils beta version and I'm not sure it attracted that much attention. Having a ready built release at least makes it easy for people to try out and labelling it alpha/beta IMO means the API's not set and the final release may have incompatibilities. > One of which is https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-275 - > the IndexedCollection.
