Deviation from the "One True But Sometimes Really Ugly Coding Standard" as defined by Sun Microsystems is *not* a threat to the ongoing health of Jakarta. It is just an example, albeit a symbolic one. The threat is to Jakarta's *nature* and it comes from our indecisiveness. Real problems I see is 1) lack of focus, 2) duplication between projects, 3) lack of common procedures for doing things. Are these perceived as problems by others or is it just my imagination? -- Ceki Gülcü - http://qos.ch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
