Maybe ;) But for completely selfish reasons I would also like to see it a= t=20 commons (in addition to if necessary). The reason being that we could the= n=20 start importing code into Apache Commons now - right away. If we get the=20 structure wrong we can then change it by just moving files - without harm= ing=20 our users, without loosing history and without any ugly CVS hacks. --=20 Cheers, Peter Donald *------------------------------------------------* | You can't wake a person who is pretending | | to be asleep. -Navajo Proverb. | *------------------------------------------------*=20
