RE: [CHALLENGE] Move All of Commons to the Dormant

I'd like to put my name down as interested (but not active) for lang, beanutils, collections, launcher, and exec; and active (meaning we're using them and have patches, suggestions in the wings) for logging, vfs and csv. BTW, I've added a VFS-compatible component to Apache Pivot and we've discusse

In the Pivot project, we use IllegalArgumentException for null input cases where we "fail early". Just FYI... Seems a bit easier for the user to tell that the specified argument wasn't acceptable to the API. ~Roger -Original Message- From: sebb [mailto:seb...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday,

RE: [DBCP] DBCP2 and logging

AFAIK, some of the classloader "issues" with CL still remain (see http://xnet.wanconcepts.com/jcl/furtherAnalysis.html but also see here: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-logging/tech.html) So, IMO Commons projects still ought to use it, if for no other reason than to understand what th

Hi guys, Just wondering how I can help? We're using Commons CSV and would like to see a release, so I would like to help in any way. I see the following JIRA issues still open for 1.0: CSV-99: Benedikt is working on a patch?! CSV-58: Related to CSV-56; looks like we still need to answer t

[VFS] Passing around password as byte[] instead

I had a thought that it would be more secure to pass password data around in VFS as byte arrays instead of String objects so they could less easily be found by memory dumpers/scanners. This would apply (for instance) to GenericFileName constructor and access methods, etc. Obviously, at some point,

[VFS] Developing a VFS browser with Pivot

Hi everyone, FWIW, I'm developing a VFS-based browser for the Apache Pivot project, and have made the first check-ins on it today. It's not done yet, but it will currently do basic (local file) browsing, so I have all the basics of using FileObject and so forth working. The JIRA

FWIW, I did some testing of the binaries with an existing application using Commons VFS and Apache Pivot and all appears to be good. +1 ~Roger Whitcomb Apache Pivot PMC Chair -Original Message- From: Thomas Neidhart [mailto:thomas.neidh...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2013 1:28

I'm actually working on a similar project to make a new version of the Apache Pivot File Browser to use VFS. So, I'd also be interested to see what suggestions the developers here have. ~Roger Whitcomb -Original Message- From: Mark Fortner [mailto:phidia...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, De
