Re: Newsletter - Commons Sandbox Patterns

[Stephen Colebourne <sc...@btopenworld.com>]

Jakarta Commons Pattern is a new subproject that aims to provide highly
generic reusable interfaces and basic implementations. These may follow well
known design patterns, or be new ideas. The JDK only really includes the
Comparator and Runnable interfaces in this category. The pattern project has
so far collected the following:
- Predicate, an interface that returns a boolean value based on an input
Object
- Transform, an interface that transforms an input Object into an output one
- Command, an interface that performs a function on an input Object
- Factory, an interface that returns a Object
- Immutable, an interface that can be used to mark immutable classes
Further suggestions have been made (and are welcome), and will be added
soon.

Hope this is OK - wasn't sure if sandbox components were included in the
newsletter.
