[VOTE] Promote DbUtils to Commons Proper
DbUtils exhibits all of the qualities of a component that should be in
Commons proper:
- It's small and focused.
- It's API is well defined
- It has a group of existing Jakarta committers providing code, ideas, and
support.
- It has good unit test coverage. It has also been tested in real world
database applications.
- It has automated nightly builds, website, and Maven all working
- It has incubated in the sandbox for long enough to become stable
DbUtils is a mature component that should move to Commons proper so it can
be released to the public. Here's my +1.
The website has additional information:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/dbutils/index.html
Here's the component proposal for reference:
(0) Rationale
Correct JDBC coding is time consuming and error prone. Many
JDBC coding tasks can be simplified with a small helper library
that factors out the mundane resource cleanup steps. DbUtils
is focused on providing such a library without any heavyweight
framework surrounding it.
(1) Scope of the Package
This proposal is to create a package of Java utility classes for
various types of JDBC related activity. DbUtils will
not be an OO representation of database objects nor will
it be an Object/Relational framework. It will be
a lightweight JDBC library that helps developers write
correct database code.
(1.5) Interaction With Other Packages
DBUtils relies only on standard Java 1.2 (or later) APIs for
production deployment. It utilizes the JUnit testing framework for
developing and executing unit tests, but this is of interest only to
developers of the component. Being dependent on Java 1.2 means that
this code is expected to be of JDBC 2.0 level.
No external configuration files are utilized.
(2) Initial Source of the Package
Potential source code for this package will come from the initial
committers' personal libraries.
The proposed package name for the new component is
<code>org.apache.commons.dbutils</code>.
(3) Required Jakarta-Commons Resources
CVS Repository - New directory dbutils in the jakarta-commons CVS
repository.
Mailing List - Discussions will take place on the general
commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org mailing list. To help
list subscribers identify messages of interest, it is suggested that
the message subject of messages about this component be prefixed with
[dbutils].
Bugzilla - New component "DBUtils" under the "Commons" product
category, with appropriate version identifiers as needed.
(4) Initial Committers
The initial committers on the DBUtils component shall be:
Henri Yandell
Steven Caswell
Juozas Baliuka
David Graham

I did a quick check of the CVS avail file and it looks like all DbUtils
folks have karma in commons and sandbox.

Looks like this is likely to pass. Are there any committers on dbutils
that have karma for the jakarta-commons-sandbox repository but don't
have karma on jakarta-commons itself? If so, I can clean that up when
the code gets promoted as well.

+0 -- and i'll do the Bugzilla category (and tweak the nightly builds)
once the code migrates.
