[jira] [Commented] (JCLOUDS-757) Drop FCGP labs provider

["Dies Koper (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-757?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14182409#comment-14182409 ] 

Dies Koper commented on JCLOUDS-757:
------------------------------------

Thank you for reaching out to me.

I didn't realize the additional maintenance FGCP has caused, and the confusion with its code to handle client authentication with certificates.
Unfortunately, if there are any FGCP provider users, they haven't reached out to me (proof of a bug free product?! ;)).
We can definitely remove it from labs and if the situation changes in the future, pick development up again from my fork.

> I suggest we remove FGCP.
> Besides maintenance like making utility classes uninstantiatable, it hasn't been touched in 17 months. Labs isn't a permanent place and all providers need maintenance and live tests run on a regular basis.
> Not only is this provider relatively weighty compared to others, it introduced the optional SSLContext injection which confused people looking at JCLOUDS-753.
> I suggest we reach out to [~dkoper] and see if there is any reason we might expect support around FGCP to change, and if not, delete it.
