interesting stuff as well - I learnt a trick from Google Guice team that developed internal stuff only[1] and then "obfuscate"[2] them in the way most ides won't recognize for code completion, so users cannot rely on internal APIs :P I personally think that is a valid approach, just my 0.02 cents, -Simo [1] http://s.apache.org/dt7 [2] http://s.apache.org/yC http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ http://simonetripodi.livejournal.com/ http://twitter.com/simonetripodi http://www.99soft.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
