Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2008 12:42:17 -0800 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.915) X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org I think we have some modules that are no longer used by anyone and the developer has given up on them, and was wondering if we should retire them? Off the top of my head this is where we stand: Keep: xbean-classloader - Geronimo and others xbean-finder - OpenEJB xbean-naming - Geronimo xbean-reflect - Geronimo and OpenEJB xbean-spring - Lots of users xbean-telnet - I think Blevins is still work in progress xbean-classpath - Looks like useful stuff Retire: xbean-jaxb - we don't even build this xbean-osgi - I gave up on this xbean-kernel - I think Service Mix moved to OSGi and I gave up on developing a long time ago xbean-server - I gave up on this xbean-tiger - Contains a single class MBeanServerFactoryBean, which I don't think is used What do you think? Also, how do you think we should retire them? I'm thinking we just delete the modules, and if someone wants them back, we can just cp the directory revision to a new location. -dain
