While i accept the raw facts behind this argument, i think we need to avoid a "copying Java solution", as this approach is ultimately doomed to failure. If someone wants to start this debate off as another thread, i'll contribute, however not today, as I am supposed to spending quality time with the wife. > > (Which I've found to be impossible.

One reason for this is probably similar to the reason why Linux is still called Linux instead of GNU/Linux - and no, i'm not saying it is because Linux was used first. > I'm in favor of tipping the hat to Java and using "beans" to describe > standard components. Most developers know what you mean. At the end of the day the first person to write a nice object container system should have the liberty of naming the objects however they want. There is a risk that we go the way of any mailing list project and decide every irrelevant detail and produce sod all [1]. If anyone really wants them to be called Bunnies[2] then they should go ahead and put the effort into either producing a kick ass container system or an even more kick ass P5EE presentation/website that inspires the masses. The later of course runs the risk of inspiring the masses and achieving nothing and was only included to acknowledge the fact we need a marketting element to this project. Greg [1] To people who are offended by the phrase "sod all", be comforted that it was toned down to that, instead of a more graphic alternative. ;-) [2] Random plural noun, choosen due to the "I've got a theory ....." song in a recent episode of a popular series. -- Greg McCarroll http://217.34.97.146/~gem/
