Please make a RC2 release of Commons Configuration soon
Its has been a long while since the RC1 release of commons configuration
and there have been some pretty significant bug fixes that Ive reported
made since then.
Furthermore, the site is displaying docs saying they're based on the
"Sept 24 RC2 release", but the same site says that the current release
is RC1.
Ive got application code distributed over several machines that depends
on fixes made since RC1. Currently Im having to build from CVS and
manually distribute a JAR version.
Please get another release out and into Ibiblio ASAP.
Cheers
Ben Hutchison
PS One of my previous issue reports was a ClassCastException caused by
casting an object to String, which should have been String.valueOf().
I noticed the fix was made in 3 places, but is still missing on line 412
of XMLConfiguration.

rc2 _is_ available from ibiblio. It just took a few hours to propagate
from the apache site to ibiblio.

Typo. I'll fix this. We all are just humans.

Well, who of us does not have code that depends on other code?

If you are so dependent on non-released code, you should build your
own copies and keep them in a local repository. It is pretty simple to
do this and I think that you are able to do so.

I've put a change in.

(with taking anything away from your request)
are you aware that maven allows local repositories to be used in
addition to the centralized ones?
this would (at least) allow you to distribution your SNAPSHOT version
more efficiently.

Don't worry, I already commited a fix for the bug (exchanging a
(String) foo with a String.valueOf(foo)).

Ben,
I think you must have seen the site in between the update of the web and the
rc2 jar making it to ibiblio, it is there now. Also, I spotted the error on
the homepage after I uploaded it.. The next version has it fixed..
As far as the bug in XMLCOnfiguraiton, can you submit a bug so we can track
it?
Eric
