There's no reason there can't be a static String OROVersion.getVersion() in addition to a Version OROVersion.getVersion(). I just thought a generic Version class has possible uses that we may not anticipate. The average ORO user would not ever need it. But I can see some uses in dynamic loading situations or in test applications or for Gump. Mostly I don't like locking functionality into static methods that might be reusable. I regret having made the org.apache.oro.regex.Util class final with a slew of static methods. In my view, singletons are more appropriate for application level code than class libraries. daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
