For the record, this was never about whether we should keep commons alive or not (at least not for me). This discussion is about whether and how we start releasing (i.e., officially supporting) parts/all of the commons wrappers. That said, I think it is great that we see this kind of support now!

+1 from my side in keeping the commons alive. At Spring/OSGi we're thinking of moving the current bundles that we are wrapping to commons. The procedure is not that hard once you get used to it but it definitely raises the bar for OSGi adoption. It's way easier to have these things in a single plac

While I understand Karl's concerns, my view of Commons is that it is a convenience service offered by us as a means to jump start OSGi/Felix usage. It seems like if we make this stuff available with a generous portion of caveats, then we could still do it. Heck, we can even create a [EMAIL PRO

Hi Carsten, HttpComponents is also Maven2-based. Oleg has collected his actions for a release in our Wiki, you may want to have a look at that (and build a similar page for Felix?): http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-httpclient/HttpComponentsCoreReleaseProcess It's way more than just calling Maven...
