Worry not, I consider code duplication an affront to my extreme/agile
programmer creds as much as the next guy/gal.

This said, yes, I am proposing duplication.

Over the years, when I've mentioned one commons component depending on
another, tomatoes start flying.

There is a definitive camp that really wants standalone components. I
assume there are the folks that are RAM or disk challenged by their runtime
environments.

My current context is a big app server, we deliver ~100 third party
libraries, some we use directly, others are dragged in transitively. To
give you an idea, we embed Jetty and CXF, so that's a big pile just there.

For my sanity, the less code the better, the less jars the better,
thankfully, both Jetty and CXF deliver 'all-in-one' jars, but their
dependencies are all individual jars.

Ideally, I would but all 'commons commons' code in [lang] when that makes
sense, like with LetterCase, and have all the other components depend on
[lang].

Tomatoes?

Gary
