Stephen, It's interesting to me that the world in general knows about Trove, but not so much this.
The fact that the front page is labelled with a snapshot version might have something to do with it, but I am kind of mystified. One thing that I'd like to add that Trove has is a full generic object hash map that is an open hash to avoid the space bloat of the stock Java HashMap. I am willing to make time to work on this. Since I'm not a committer at commons, I'm thinking that my proposed lab is a reasonable place to put in some effort and then bring it back into commons. Or maybe I should just start teeing up patches at commons? I find that reorganizing changes that might be called for to do generics and such are really clumsy in patches, so svn cp-ing to a lab might still make sense. I'm copy the labs list to test if I'm making a particle of sense. --benson On Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 5:34 PM, Stephen Colebourne <scolebou...@btopenworld.com> wrote: > Benson Margulies wrote: >> >> I proposed a lab over at labs in which to start construction of >> something much like what commons-primitives describes itself as >> setting out to do.
