http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36876 Summary: Remove dependence on Commons collection ArrayStack Product: Commons Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Digester AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The web page states, "Digester has a dependency on Commons Collections. This threatens to raise compatibility issues now that two incompatible series of releases exist. Fortunately, this dependency is only upon a single mature class (ArrayStack) and the versions of this class to be found in different versions of the library are binary compatible." I just got back from SD Best Practices, where Bob martin kept warning us about the evils of dependencies and coupling so this really jumped out at me. Dependencies in general are bad and significantly increase the complexity of a product. Since this dependency is so small, it should be removed. A non-public ArrayStack class should be included in Digester directly. The code could be adopted from Commons Collection with trivial changes. This would be one less large JAR file to carry around, and would make installing and maintaining Digester that much easier. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
