<h1>Proposal for <em>IO</em> Package</h1>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<h3>(0) Rationale</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Many software projects have a need to perform I/O in various ways, and
|
|
the JDK class libraries provide a lot of functionality, but sometimes you
|
|
need just a little bit more. The io package seeks to encapsulate some of
|
|
the most popular i/o base classes into one easy to use package.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>(1) Scope of the Package</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>This proposal is to create a package of Java utility classes for various
|
|
types of i/o related activity.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>(1.5) Interaction With Other Packages</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><em>IO</em> relies only on standard JDK 1.2 (or later) APIs for production
|
|
deployment. It utilizes the JUnit unit testing framework for developing
|
|
and executing unit tests, but this is of interest only to developers of the
|
|
component. IO will be a dependency for several existing components in the
|
|
open source world.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>No external configuration files are utilized.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>(2) Initial Source of the Package</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The original Java classes are splashed around various Apache subprojects.
|
|
We intend to seek them out and integrate them.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The proposed package name for the new component is <code>org.apache.commons.io</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>(3) Required Jakarta-Commons Resources</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>CVS Repository - New directory <code>io</code> in the <code>jakarta-commons</code>
|
|
CVS repository.</li>
|
|
<li>Mailing List - Discussions will take place on the general <em>dev@commons.apache.org</em>
|
|
mailing list. To help list subscribers identify messages of interest,
|
|
it is suggested that the message subject of messages about this component
|
|
be prefixed with [IO].</li>
|
|
<li>Bugzilla - New component "IO" under the "Commons" product category,
|
|
with appropriate version identifiers as needed.</li>
|
|
<li>Jyve FAQ - New category "commons-io" (when available).</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>(4) Initial Committers</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The initial committers on the IO component shall be Scott Sanders and
|
|
Nicola Ken Barozzi and Henri Yandell</p>
