There are two issues which we must settle: 1. The choice of EJML, even though it was not the best contenders in the benchmark referred to previously. 2. The problem of supporting an external API. AFAIK, the latter was never accepted in Commons. If you want to challenge that, please post to [All]. > Efficient matrix implementations are serious business.

This is not the point (I agree that we don't have neither the time nor the expertise to reinvent a library for linear algebra). The point is that by shading a library, we can switch to another if/when there is a need (e.g. in case that project disappears).
