RE: Time plan for Hivemind release 1.0

Title: Message

I'd rather respond on the HiveMind user mailing list.   There is a vote currently to release 1.0 beta-1.   The framework is very mature in my opinion; it wasn't slapped together like some open-source projects. It has some hardcore TDD (test driven development) going on in there to give me confidence that it all works.    I've had no problems with Javassist with either HiveMind or Tapestry. We're using just a fraction (perhaps a stable fraction) of what Javassist can do ... creating new classes at runtime, not modifying classes that are already in existence.  Again, it works because the HiveMind test suite contains well over 400 tests and most of those create dozens of new classes using Javassist.     -- Howard M.

I think it is really a helpful framework for our J2EE software. However I’m a bit concerned about its immaturity, at least judging by its early pre-release state.   The other thing that worries me a bit is this javassist thing. I didn’t have the time to look more closely into it yet. But a colleague of mine warned that it is quite immature either and that it plays around with byte code in a way that is a bit unusual.   Can you make a clarifying statement on that?   Thanks, Matthias Burbach
