[BeanUtils] When will 1.7 be released?
Hi all,
Does anyone know when BeanUtils 1.7 will be released? I would like to
make use of some of these classes with Struts:
org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtilsBean
org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConvertUtilsBean
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtilsBean
I know that the development releases of Struts have used 1.7 (not sure
if the 1.1 ones are...), but the releases are still using 1.6.1 (I
assume that they are waiting for 1.7 to be released).
If there are no current plans on releasing BeanUtils 1.7, can anyone
give me advice on getting the classes above to work with a BeanUtils
1.6.1 release?
Thanks!
Allen

(i can't speak for someone else but) i have no plans to cut a 1.7
release. even if someone else stepped up, there are quite a few issues
which need to be resolved before any release could happen (including
making sure that the new signatures are right before they are fixed by
the release).

IMHO it would be very difficult to make those classes work without also
adopting the other changes made since 1.6.1.
particular care is taken by all concerned over beanutils and the unit
tests are maintained. i would have no issues with recommended the
current HEAD as suitable for production with the proviso that the
interfaces added since 1.6.1 are not guaranteed to be preserved in
later 1.x series releases.
if you are unwilling to take my word for this, why not run a coverage
tool over beanutils and create sufficient unit tests to ensure 100%
coverage. this should be enough to give you confidence that the current
features work.
is there any particular reason why you absolutely need a full release?
