Why? No non-HTTP app should join us anyway so... if they want to have
a name then fine, e.g. Apache HttpComponents Droids - fits in
perfectly IMHO.
There's two words in "HttpComponents". Applications
are not components, at least in my book :-)
Well, from a technical POV and when you see "Components" as de-
coupled from "Http", then yes, I agree but in the end it should more
be seen as a "collection" around HTTP-centric utils, whether real
component or also an occasional app doesn't really matter IMHO... as
long as it's an exception and doesn't become the rule.
Oh and since Droids is more a framework then an app, my comparison
was a bit flawed - should have used Norbert as an example :-0
(Compare that to Apache Lucene and its sub-projects, I think that's
more impractical.)
I'll have a look, thanks for the pointer.
What I wanted to say here: technically it should be Apache Lucene
Solr, Apache Lucene Nutch, etc. but they're probably not doing that
due to the impracticality...
Cheers,
Erik
