                 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).
