Hi Elijah, it sounds a great interesting contribution, I haven't seen [chain] development activity lately so I eventually volunteer to apply the patch. Thanks in advance for your effort, [chain] if one of the components that need new energy.
Two recommendations: * we are updating components code to more recent JVM specs, please try to keep 1.5 as target as much as possible. take the [digester] pom (is the one I know more) as a good sample where starting from * please don't migrate to slf4j. here at commons we continue using commons-logging Hope that helps and count on me if you need more infos - feel free to contact me even directly for trivial questions, better anyway discussing on public MLs. A minor note: [collections] will get a new life soon ;) Have a nice day, all the best!
