Re: [Springframework-developer] Road map (security)

[Keith D. <kd...@cs...>]

I have to say I completely agree with this.  The quality of the code is a=
lso
one of the main factors that attracted me to Spring.  Something with the
backing of the Spring name definitely adds to the credibility that it is
worth taking a serious look at.

I think Spring's "uber-jar" approach complimented with its individual jar=
s
for distributing specific portions is a good, balanced approach.  While I=
've
seen people who conveniently like everything in one bundle, we've all see=
n
people just as adament about wanting just a core IoC container and a smal=
l
footprint and that's it.

I also think having sub-projects under the Spring umbrella/mission for
larger, prudently selected high-interest efforts is a good approach.  It
allows them to evolve/release somewhat independently, but still stay an
integrated part of the Spring community.
