Re: [Springframework-developer] PicoContainer

Some interesting links with reaction to our PicoContainer 
comparison:

The PicoContainer guys think that Spring should become a 
NanoContainer, and it sounds like they're jumping onto the 
JavaBeans bandwagon. Rather amusing, since Spring has been 
around for 6 months and my book, which outlined the design, 
has been out for the best part of a year. They could have 
joined us :-)

Shows we should keep up the PR effort, and that it's 
important to be fair and reasonable in comparisons. I think 
it's helped a lot that we don't sound bigoted and that we 
don't attempt to dismiss Struts/PicoContainer etc without a 
fair comparison.
