Clearing the air regarding Avalon utilities and Commons

[Berin Loritsch <bl...@apache.org>]

I would like some more information and clarification on the Jakarta Commons
charter and practicalities of placing code there.  Avalon Excalibur's code
is fairly integrated, and is a testimony to how well the API works.  However,
because it is easier to use the concurrent package synchronization primitives
rather than using the "synchronized" keyword all the time, I have used them
to implement thread-safe pools, among other things.

As far as I can tell there are separate packages for pooling, synchronization
primitives, and other utilities.  My understanding regarding the charter is
that you don't want cross library dependancies in Commons.  Were I to advocate
moving the utilities in Avalon Excalibur to Jakarta Commons, how would that
work itself out?

For instance, the new Pool implementations that I am writing are based on the
new Buffer classes and use the synchronization primitives.

I am posting to both lists to get the widest possible answer.

Thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to fix that.  OK, fixed.

Curious, to my eyes at least.


On the page:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/latka/

The link in the following (outlined with the <link> tags) doesn't work:
A simple example of a Latka XML test suite is shown in <link>A Sample Latka 
Test Suite</link>. When processed, this example would verify that the Jakarta
Commons homepage is present and that all the Commons Components have online 
documenation.


Doesn't process, doesn't verify. Somewhat ironic and not the greatest 
advert for latka ;)
