[Tm4j-developers] TopicMapFactory refactoring

[Kal A. <ka...@te...>]

Folks,

Further to Ren=E9's comments, I am now considering refactoring TopicMapFa=
ctory=20
so that all createXXX() methods require the parent object of the new obje=
ct=20
to be specified. This would mean that all the old createXXX() methods wou=
ld=20
be deprecated in 0.8.0 and removed in the following release.

The alternative is to hold off on this change until after 0.8.0. So the=20
question is, would you prefer to get an 0.8.0 release now or get one with=
=20
these API changes made in a little while (maybe another week...might make=
 a=20
nice Xmas present ;-)

At first I was reluctant to make the change for 0.8.0, but I'm now thinki=
ng=20
that the change should be made now, so unless I hear voices raised agains=
t=20
this course of action, I will start to make those changes from tomorrow.

Cheers,

Kal
