Niall Pemberton commented on BEANUTILS-278:
-------------------------------------------

Commons Digester needs the ArrayStack class (which uses Buffer and BufferUnderflowException) - Struts 1.3 doesn't appear to need any of the classes - except thru' its dependency on Digester

> The following 4 Commons Collections classes were copied into BeanUtils so that the dependency on Commons Collections could be removed (these were included in the BeanUtils 1.7.0 release)
>     ArrayStack.java
>     Buffer.java
>     BufferUnderflowException.java
>     FastHashMap.java
> See the following thread for the original reasoning:

> Of the above four classes only FastHashMap is used within BeanUtils (and is part of the public API) - not sure why the other classes were included, but it may be because downstream systems such as Struts depend on them (which also removed its Commons Collections when it moved to BeanUtils 1.7.0). Some (but not all) of the BeanUtils public API which exposes FastHashMap was deprecated in the BeanUtils 1.7.0 release.
