[Xforge-users] Much new stuff checked into xforge_3_0_branch

[Ulrich M. <ul...@de...>]

Hello,

I've updated Avalon Framework, Excalibur, LogKit etc. to the newest, 
officially released versions. I had to make a number of changes in 
various files in order to make it work. Most notably, XForgeProcessor 
now uses two Loggers internally (transparent to the user), one 
org.apache.log.Logger and one org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Logger.

Reason is that the released version of ExcaliburComponentManager does 
not work with new-style logging. There are now additional deprecation 
warnings, because ECM is now deprecated in favor of Fortress. However, 
as Fortress is not released yet, I'll wait until then for upgrading from 
ECM to Fortress.

Besides the new Avalon JARs I also checked in commons-collections.jar 
and concurrent.jar. Both are now needed by ECM, previously it used 
Excalibur collections and concurrency, but the Excalibur versions were 
abolished in favor of more standard libraries.

I'll have to update a number of docs now to reflect changes in 
components.xml and Test.java, but the code is ready and checked in and 
the user experience should be identical to before.

cheers,

Ulrich
