Actually, from my perspective, re the 0.20 branch, they are not preferred alternatives and are not complete as more were introduced into .21 (of which many are wrappers around the stable apis for sake of transition). Which further complicates matters, it's an all or nothing switch, you can't use some new and some old in the same app (see the Configuration/JobConf property that flags the new apis in use). chris -- Chris K Wensel ch...@concurrentinc.com http://www.concurrentinc.com
