Re: [Springframework-developer] FreeMarker

[<jue...@we...>]

Actually, as this a minor addition that doesn't affect the rest of the =
framework, I wouldn't mind including it in a 1.0.x point release. If it =
get's ready in time - also tested in some scenarios -, we could even =
include it in 1.0 final.=20

I'm quite pragmatic here: release early, release often - and don't make =
everybody's life harder with two parallel development streams. Remember =
that Hibernate introduced the "all-delete-orphans" feature in 2.0.3 =
rather than a 2.1 beta, to get it out earlier for users of the current =
production version, instead of making them wait for Hibernate 2.1 RC.

That's also why I put iBATIS SQL Maps 2 support in for 1.0.x: I don't =
want people to have to wait until 1.1 RC to be able to use it in the =
context of an entire new Spring release, when it doesn't affect the rest =
of the framework anyway. Granted, SQL Maps 2 is still in beta, so is our =
support for it; but that doesn't worry me for Spring 1.0 final.

In general, major additions for 1.1 like JMS support and JMX support =
should go in the sandbox for the time being - they are not something to =
introduce in a point release. This allows us to work with the CVS HEAD =
for 1.0.x, with no need to merge for 1.1 M1: We can simply copy the =
respective sandbox packages to the main src tree then.

Subject: [Springframework-developer] FreeMarker



for info:

I've added FreeMarker integration to my local sources along very similar
lines to the Velocity code.  It's working well at home in an existing
Velocity project that's had its templates migrated to FTL.  Should be
ready to commit after 1.0-final, ready for 1.1-m1

If there's anyone who makes heavy use of FreeMarker currently (I believe
Cameron said he did?), could you let me know which features you're
employing - particularly where it pertains to Configuration objects
(http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/docs/api/freemarker/template/Configura=
tion.html)?
 FM has a non-bean-friendly interface into much of the API and I'd like =
to
ensure that I get this integration meeting existing needs early on.

Cheers,
