Place the betwixt file in the same package as the source file it's defining. A classfile
com.mycompany.MyClass would have a corresponding betwixt file MyClass.betwixt
in the com.mycompany package.

if you let us know which archive is having these problems, maybe
infrastructure can look into it.

no worries - it didn't sound to me like a complaint :)

on betwixt.

Robert,
I hope it didn't sound like I was complaining! When I went to
the Mail List Archive from the Betwixt webpage, there are almost no
messages archived since back in mid-February. Also, there are several
messages from "ezmlm" warning about mail bouncing problems for the
"commons-user" account. Now I've been subscribed to the mail list for the
last several weeks, so I know there is definitely traffic, but apparently
the archiving isn't working. So when I went to find a post I thought I
remembered seeing, I couldn't find it in the archive, thus my posting above.
Sorry for the confusion. I really like betwixt! No complaints
here. I had originally thought that Digester would perform these kinds of
tasks, so I was rather disappointed when I found out it didn't. So finding
Betwixt which does exactly what I need was a real blessing.
--- thanks again! ---
Larry

there have been quite a few postings on the list since then but
development hasn't been as swift as we'd hoped...

+1
(that's the way things work at the moment.)
it should very easy to add a strategy interface that would allow custom
.betwixt file loading. if this is a priority for anyone, then maybe they'd
like to contribute a patch ;)
