What's In The API...?
the mailet api is now to be found in at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/mailet/api/trunk/. however,
after the move out from JAMES server some of the contents don't look
quite right for an API. so, we've decided to create a new product
called mailet-base to contain them and other classes generally useful
when building mailets.
we've had a bit of a talk on the server list and think we have a split
which a good enough starting point. this effects the contents of the
first independent mailet API release so i'd like to get feedback from
this list.
in order to keep the volume down, i suggest a lazy feedback: if
everything is near enough ok then just stay silent. please jump in and
highlight any mistakes either by prose or by just marking X against
the offenders. i'll leave this open until at least saturday may 10th.

mailet-api will be the specification and mailet-base will be a basic
toolkit for mailet developers thus factoring out the two main concerns
of the current mailet product. mailet-api will be released each time
the specification is updated. mailet-base may well be released more
frequently.

Could you explain the relationship between mailet-api and mailet-base
going forward? Does mailet-base intended to replace mailet-api with a
honed purpose?
