drop ressources (stlport, maybe beanshell)
Hello all,
I would like to remove stlport from code. We already build without it,
and no one is using it. We have a Repository system for managing old
code. We do not need to carry stuff we do not use.
Another potential candidate to get Rid of is beanshell. I am looking
into it, the project moved to Apache Commons. I hope that it is still
there under a different name (beanUtil?)
Cleaning out stuff is important.
Any Objections?

yes kind of. I have seeb BeanUtil and maybe BSF (I am not sure) and I
thought those were successor with the project.
But it quickly turned out it has been a misunderstanding on my side.
BSF supplies a nice vierity of Scripting Languages. Maybe it is good to
keep it in mind for later. As an option, if wwe want to do something fancy.
New Feature stuff you know.

Were you looking for Apache Commons BSF?

I just wanted to say in a complicated way that I told what I knew. And I
don't think it is worth to do a lot of research to convince others.

I don't understand what you want to tell me here as this is out of context.

Actually I cannot really help here as I'm not a developer. However I
would think that it is helping more to tell some more background of the
potential removal candidate. Thats all. ;-)

Hi Markus,
Please understand that I assume a per default some resistance towards
change. I see it as feature not as failure, we are a bit conservative
for a reason.
But as a reaction I save my time a bit, where I think it is a waste.
So which Information do you exactly need?
My Current status:
STLPort is still considered -> I see no counter arguments to wards
removal from code, it will stay in the repository. I am fine with a tag
if that helps. I want to write a proposal in may.
BEANSHELL is canceled, because my understand that it moved into Apache
Common is wrong.
STAX is still considered, because it is now part of a JDK. Therefor the
work includes to ensure that all Calls point to the JDK delivered Stax
and still work. Hope fully May.
SAXON is undecided on my end. I overlooked the dependency to filter (a
error in my dependency overview). I am not sure if I really want to
migrate to libXML2, which needs to be done in order to make Saxon obsolete.
On the other hand we should investigate to update Saxon to version 10.
So I am not sure which way is better. Especially since I would like to
move away from libXML2 in long term. I am in favor of Apache Xerxes,
which is a more natural partner for us. And I have an Idea how filter
should evolve. But all this are other stories.
All the Best
Peter

right.
Howeverr, when you write for which the ressources are used it would be
easier to judge if it can be really dropped or not.

Okay, thanks Damjan.
I found the mail in Apache Commons and some other mentions.
So I think I got confused.

See https://github.com/beanshell/beanshell#history
BeanShell was apparently only proposed as an incubator project, it never
entered incubation. Its current home is that GitHub project.

Maybe I was not clear enough.
beanshell we use is unmaintained and very old.
A potential successor is in Apache-Commons. I am investigating.
Without a valid successor we will not drop. In doubt we have to adopt
and maintain.
But I dont thionk so. I already found the vote in Apache Common to
integrate beanshell.
I just could not find it, with my tomato eyes :)

Hello,
I want to brint to attention that we can use BEANSHELL for writing
Macros. This is one point beside Basic, Javascript and Python.
This shouldn't be cut.
Kind regards
