Re: [Springframework-developer] o:XML scripting support

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

Martin,

At a minimum, you should post the code into a Jira issue so it's not 
lost. W/regards to the idea of including this code in Spring itself, 
it's mostly a function of how relevant this is to the average Spring 
user. If it's not relevant enough, then it could possibly live in either 
Spring-Modules, or in the o:XML project itself.

Regards,
Colin
