Re: [Clirr-user] How is the project going?

[<lak...@t-...>]

Hi Stephen,

thanks for your interest in the project. I didn't have time for Clirr 
since the beginning of this year (job and my other opensource projects 
like Checkstyle and OpenOrb) so during recent months there hasn't been 
any active development.

I'd say that the current version number 0.2 reflects the development 
status pretty well: Alpha

    * somewhat usable (detects many compatibility errors already)
    * some compatibility problems are currently not detected
    * probably not configurable enough for many users

At my job I have the same problem for our own internal libraries that 
you have for Jakarta Commons, so I will probably soon start active 
development again. Having Jakarta Commons as potential serious users 
will definetely increase my motivation.

Have you tried to integrate clirr in one of your projects? I'd be happy 
to help and resolve any problems you might have, add features you need - 
and of course your patches are welcome, too :-)

I just ran "maven test" on CVS HEAD and I cannot reproduce a test 
failure. Which test is failing for you?

Cheers,
Lars
