[jira] [Commented] (WICKET-5641) Add Google Guava dependency.

["Martin Grigorov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-5641?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14060758#comment-14060758 ] 

Martin Grigorov commented on WICKET-5641:
-----------------------------------------

I'm -1 to add Guava as dependency to Wicket core.
My reason is explained earlier at http://markmail.org/message/qmoebzwoi3cejcc2.
I have seen many OSS projects using old version of Guava just because the feature(s) they use have been removed/reworked in the next version of Guava without replacement.

JarJar-ing Guava into Wicket is an option but this will make wicket-util.jar way too big.

> The Google [Guava library|https://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/] has grown popular over the last few years. Besides providing common day-to-day boilerplate such as {{Preconditions}} and comparator helpers such as {{Ordering}}, it also provides a diverse set (pun unintended) of tested useful collections such as {{Multimaps}}.
> Pulling in a new significantly-sized dependency would be advised only if it is useful. This JIRA is to serve as a list of places in Wicket where the Guava library would prove beneficial, as well as to provide a forum for developer comment on the desirability of adding such a dependency.
