[ALL][VOTE][VFS] Promote commons-vfs to commons proper
After long time in the sandbox I would like to promote
commons-vfs to commons proper.
There are many user requests to enter a release cycle and
there is consent that VFS is stable enough to offer it.
(0) Rationale
commons-vfs allows a single api to access many different
filesystem, A plugin system allows it to extend the system
with 3rd party libraries without the need to touch the
core.
(1) Scope of the Package
The scope of VFS is to use other libraries to access those
filesystems and insert as less overhead as possible.
(1.1) Currently supported filesystems
local files
ftp
http
webdav
sftp
samba
temporary
- and files packaged in
zip
jar
tar
gzip
bzip2
(1.2) Access modes (depending on the filesystem capabilities)
create, list, read, write, delete, rename, random access, attributes
(2) Interaction with other packages
VFS uses junit for its testing and requires a couple
of servers (apache, ssh, samba, ...) to pass them.
Release 1.0 relies on jdk 1.3 only, though I have plans
to migrate to jdk 1.5 for a release 2.0 with backward
compatibility to jdk 1.4 using retroweaver.
BUT this ONLY happens if a foregoing vote succeed.
Also there is a list of required resources on
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/vfs/download.html
Here the word "required" means "if the users would
like to use a specific filesystem".
If a library is missing VFS will not fail but do
not provide its capabilities.
(3) Required jakarta-commons resources
SVN Repository
Mailing List
commons-dev/commons-user. [VFS] prefixed in the
subject line.

obviously non-committing, but I'm willing to help out
where needed.
