Re: [Springframework-developer] Spring & JMX

[Rod J. <rod...@in...>]

Colin,

Why don't you check it into the sandbox?

I've also been thinking about a contrib area...it would be good to have some
way of sharing code that may or may not ever make it into Spring proper--for
example, code useful to a lot of users, but not really a part of the
framework.

Regards,
Rod
