Hi,

sorry for the late reply but i am currently on holiday until tuesday next
week.

I understand your need for a clear indication of dependencies for a
library like asterisk-java.
The current approach is to only rely on commons-logging as it ensures
complience with jdk 1.3 (which is missing logging and needs log4j) and
allows using jdk provided logging or logging via log4j (which is nice when
running jboss for example) when using jdk 1.4 or 1.5.

The dependency on commons-lang should be removed in latest CVS. I am not
aware on a dependency of commons-logging on commons-lang.

I will look at the code again when i am back home next week and decide if
its possible to borrow the stuff for switching the logging api between jdk
and log4j and remove that dependency as well.

Finally to answer your original question:
I plan to release a 0.1 version at the end of april.

Please help me with some testing of the library and post your results
(positive and negative experiences to the list).
If you wish we can start with a release candidate within the next two or
three weeks.

nice greetings from a sunny place in a wlan covered garden ;)
