RE: FOP Specialized Classloader

[Rhett Aultman <Ra...@fcci-group.com>]

Hey, gang.

I posted my inital commentary and proposal for a FOP specialized classloader that automatically and transparently resolves JVM versioning and vendor issues (and OS, and just about anything else we want).  I posted it a bit over a week ago as an attachment to Bug #10379.  Has anyone had the opportunity to read it?  Any comments?  I'm just curious as to if there is any feedback on the idea.  If it's a liked idea, I will have some time to devote to working further on it next week, and so I wanted to see where we stood with it.

Rhett,

The way it seems to work is that the bug remains assigned to fop-dev, 
and anyone who want to add comments or attachments can go ahead. 
Consider it assigned to you.  Keep the list in touch with what you are 
doing; think aloud about design issues and ask any specific questions as 
they arise.  Most of us are working on particular areas, so you may not 
see any immediate responses, but if you keep us aware of what you are 
doing, folks can jump in with specific suggestions or objections.  Don't 
be afraid to ask specific questions, and to ask them again if the 
answers aren't clear to you, or are non-existent.  The initiative on 
this one is with you.

Rhett,

Judging by the deafening silence, I would say you are on your own on 
this one.  You may take heart from the fact that no-one has said 
"Don't!"  So go for it.  If you don't do it, nobody will.  However, It 
would probably be a good idea to send a message to the other Apache Java 
projects, briefly outlining what you are thinking about.  It may be that 
similar efforts are underway elsewhere.

One of the more experienced devops like Keiron may be able to make more 
informed comments on this.
