ooo-util
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
A place for OOO utilities.
|
|
|
|
This is a public library, so we don't want hopelessly threerings-specific
|
|
things in there (put those in the newly slimmed down threerings library). What
|
|
we can do is rely on Guava, which is what keeps useful things out of samskivert
|
|
and often pushes them into weird places like Narya.
|
|
|
|
What we can also do is use ooo-util to export the latest version of samskivert
|
|
and Guava to all of our other projects. A project that relies on the latest
|
|
snapshot of ooo-util can expect to have the latest snapshot of samskivert and
|
|
Guava, and when either samskivert or Guava ships a versioned release, we'll
|
|
ship a versioned release of ooo-util so that projects can bump to that release
|
|
to obtain the latest transitive depends.
|
|
|
|
We should strongly resist the addition of additional depends to this library,
|
|
unless they are indisputably useful to every single library and project in the
|
|
whole wide world. Guava made that cut a long while back, and samskivert lingers
|
|
with us like an embarrassing uncle, but I don't imagine another universally
|
|
useful library is likely to come along in this decade. But if it does, we've
|
|
got a place to put it.
