: Can anyone open an umbrella bug for this? : I think we should first collect all inconsistencies, then someone (including me) start to make patches.
Don't worry about it. if you open a bunch of bugs, someone can/will group them. : BTW one more thing I've noticed: some methods even start with uppercase. : Common, there are books written about Lucene, such things are just painful ;) legacy code is legacy code ... static methods with capitalized case names were added long ago as constructor-esque factories, probably because it was in voue at the time. They may make the APIs inconsistent, but for all the people out there using them leaving them aloe has been one less thing to worry about when upgrading. deprecating/removing methods because there signatures are confusing or missleading is one thing, generally a very good thing -- getting rid of them for aesthetics and consistency is another (less obviously good) thing. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
