Re:_Commons-Attributes_(sandbox)_and_Jon_Tirs�n.

Well I volunteer to help this get promoted out of sandbox.  I've done work on it before (pairing
with James Strachan - which he never committed - grumble grumble ;)

Jon, that sound good to you ?

I prefer to use strings for attributes too, It helps to use  implementation
without external files,
parse  at runtime and use source file as resource itself.

Jon,

My aim would be to see a merge of both forks of your work. Granted we have done work here, but
then so have you.  JSK 1.5 is not somthing I'd stop work here for. Nor would I think it is
compelling to merge all OSS attrtibutes efforts.

As I think is you opinion, lets just go for a update to c-a with nanning's features.

Diversity, and multiple choices are great.  QDox and XDoclet both exist for different niches, and
high respect for each other.

Why implement something that's JSR175-compliant? That's gonna be part of
JDK1.5 anyway. Besides it's probably not doable since it requires a
language-change.

Attrib4J and JSR175 has tons of extra stuff where I've always seen
commons-attributes (and Nanning) as extremely simplistic, ie named
attributes whose values are strings.

In my experience this has been very useful and for a very small
price-tag (both when it comes to learning the API, and of course
implementing it).

I don't see the point of putting commons-attributes in this direction
(but it's not my decision to make). Why not just do it in attrib4j which
has that intent? If it necessarily has to be a Jakarta-project why not
start another one?

Sounds good, first I suppose I should talk to the attributes 
committers.  Before I jump in and start working on merging the 
codebases, I should make sure that the commons-attributes committers 
want that.  In an e-mail from Jon to Mark Pollack and me, it seemed that 
he needed some convincing :)

like anyone else you can help out as a developer ;)

i'm not an commons-attributes committer, so others will have to answer 
whether they'd be happy to have you on-board as a committer but i can 
probably give you an answer in theory: as a apache committer you can now 
request jakarta-commons-sandbox karma from the jakarta pmc (pmc at jakarta.
apache.org) giving your reasons (maybe something like 'to help out on 
commons-attributes'). please supply your apache user name with the request 
(this makes things easier for infrastructure).

I have e-mailed briefly with Mark Pollack of attrib4j.sourceforge.net.  
It seems some work needs to be done to support JSR175 for both 
commons-attributes and attrib4j.  The main difference Jon and Mark have 
so far is the Attribute interface, where Mark would rather not have 
String properties for Name and Value.

One interesting thing about attrib4j is that it stores its attributes in 
the class file instead of a separate properties file.  I think that 
since the attribute storage mechanism is already abstracted in the 
current commons-attributes through the DefaultAttributeFinder and 
DefaultAttributeCompiler, it would make sense to agree on a common 
interface and create multiple implementations.

I am currently a committer on ws.apache.org/xmlrpc.  Can I help?

Fine by me. The code is pretty clean by now and I guess people are using
it. Maybe remove the dependency on commons-logging and that's it. (I
think QDox is the only other dependency...?)

The code in Nanning looks quite a bit different but the only major
changes I've done are using the lower-level API of QDox, incremental
compilation and introducing a ClassAttributes-object (increases
performance by a factor of at least 10 by caching the lookups instead of
concatenating strings for each lookup).
