[jira] Commented: (MIME4J-29) Remove cyclic dependecies between packages

["Stefano Bagnara (JIRA)" <se...@james.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-29?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12528404 ] 

Stefano Bagnara commented on MIME4J-29:
---------------------------------------

As wrote to the list here is the list of changes to remove the cycles:
----------
1) Move SimpleContentHandler from mime4j root package to message. It has
depedencies on the message package and no one depends on this. So either
"message" or a new package.

2) Move the encoding string constants from ContentTransferEncodingField
to MimeUtil.

3) Remove static method parse from DateTime and move the logic inside
DateTimeField.Parse class (the only user of that code).

> I found the following cycles in our packages:
> oaj.mime4j.decoder
> - oaj.mime4j.util
> -- oaj.mime4j.field
> --- oaj.mime4j.decoder
> oaj.mime4j
> - oaj.mime4j.message
> -- oaj.mime4j
> oaj.mime4j.field.datetime
> - oaj.mime4j.field.datetime.parser
> -- oaj.mime4j.field.datetime
> oaj.mime4j.decoder
> - oaj.mime4j.util
> -- oaj.mime4j.field
> --- oaj.mime4j.field.address
> ---- oaj.mime4j.decoder
> I think we should try to remove the dependencies until we are in a 0.x release. The sooner, the better, even if this break backward compatibility.
> WDYT?
