+1 to get rid of rupert. -0 to suck the whole pile into here: Please note that most rupert tools where repackaged into commons.io, commons.codec, etc. It would be nice to have some docs within jakarta-velocity-tools that states that commons has a load of tools ready for use here (maby list the most notable ones) and state how these could be used (e.g. in a servlet scenario: include the commons-*.jar, etc.). The tools in ruppert that have not been moved into a proper commons package should now find an nice home there instead of moving back to jakarta-velocity-tools. -- :) Christoph Reck -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
