Hi all,
let me use this moment to thank everybody for their full support and the trust for letting me take over the QDox lead. A year ago I just applied some patches and see where it got me :) Also I'd like to thank Joe for all his efforts on the project. I believe he left us a marvelous piece of code which still is an important extension for the java community. I guess QDox is still miles (lightyears?) away from being dead ;) - Robert > Date: Sun, 14 Feb 2010 12:07:04 +0000 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > CC: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [qdox-user] New QDox team lead - Robert Scholte > > The King is dead.
