Merge Bean-Collections back into core BeanUtils and remove Bean-Collections sub-project ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: BEANUTILS-290 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-290 Project: Commons BeanUtils Issue Type: Task Components: Bean-Collections Affects Versions: 1.7.0 Reporter: Niall Pemberton Assignee: Niall Pemberton Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.8.0 This issue has been discussed in the following thread: http://tinyurl.com/2xdpku For BeanUtils 1.7.0 the following classes which had a dependency on Commons Collections were split into a separate "bean-collections" sub-module: BeanComparator.java BeanMap.java BeanPredicate.java BeanPropertyValueChangeClosure.java BeanPropertyValueEqualsPredicate.java BeanToPropertyValueTransformer.java Three "flavours" of jars were released in 1.7.0 commons-beanutils.jar - containing all BeanUtils classes, including above bean-collections ones commons-beanutils-bean-collections.jar - containing just the above bean-collections classes commons-beanutils-core.jar - containing BeanUtils classes excluding above bean-collections ones BeanUtils 1.7.0 was created using ant and (I presume) the maven poms for the above artifacts were manually created - unfortunately with mistakes: 1) The pom for commons-beanutils.jar DOESN'T declare any Commons Collections dependency (which it has for the bean-collections classes) 2) The pom for commons-beanutils-core.jar DOES declare a Commons Collections dependency (which it doesn't actually have) The proposal for BeanUtils 1.8.0 (see http://tinyurl.com/2xdpku) is to merge the bean-collections classes back into core BeanUtils and get rid of the bean-collections sub-module - releasing just a single jar for BeanUtils and marking the Commons Collections dependency as "optional" in the maven pom (see http://tinyurl.com/2nm2bu). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
