Ah, another good use for Clover, something else I have not played with... volunteers? :-) Gary -----Original Message----- From: Tim O'Brien [mailto:tobrien@discursive.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 15:12 To: Jakarta Commons Developers List Subject: Re: [codec] Update dependencies.html with Java req, and more.

This page is automatically generated by Maven. Although, I'm certain that there is a way to turn off this page with some property for the Maven site plugin. ( Also, it seems strange that there is even a dependencies.html when there are no dependencies. ) You mentioned in a [lang] email that you thought that there were opportunities for [codec] to use [lang]. I agree, but I'd also like to get a sense of what others think as well. The minimally required version of Java should be 1.2; although, I haven't validated that of late. I think we should put this somewhere prominent on index.xml > (2) It seems that this should be on each common's project dependencies page. I don't think we're going to enact universal design across all commons projects in the near future. I'm not sure how closely all Commons project adhere to the 1.2 compatibility requirements, and I suspect that a number of them are only compatible with 1.4, etc. This would be a good idea to bring up in commons. Commons is a diverse group of projects. I'm seeing about 50-50 with the standard commons HTML page, and Maven sites. It would be nice if we could get some uniformity, but on the other hand, all I'm interested in is a useable product - if HiveMind moved to some custom Tapestry L+F tomorrow, I wouldn't mind at all. > (3) I do not know how to do the above BUT once done or someone tells me the > version number, I would like to update the build.xml Javadoc invocation in > order to specify links to Sun's site such that @link tags to JRE classes > compile properly. Agreed, I'll make that change ASAP. > (4) Should we consider releasing the current build as a 1.1.1? Absolutely, there is a somewhat critical bug in Base64 that was fixed and 1.1.1 needs to be released. The only showstopper is that DoubleMatephone does not have a test. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commons-dev-unsubscribe@jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commons-dev-help@jakarta.apache.org ------_=_NextPart_001_01C35C6C.6867EAD0--
