Hello,
looking for a proper solution to deal with Windows style INI files, I was
linked to the Apache Commons Configurations library. While it looks like
what I want, I was surprised and dismayed to notice that a lot of the
Apache Common libraries seem to have been completely abandoned. Many have
not have had any updates since 2008 or 2010, and some even are specifically
designed to still run on Java 1.2!
Are those libraries so incredibly polished that no further updates are
necessary, or have they simply been abandoned ? Looking in from the
outside, it seems like no maintenance or anything has been done, and I'm a
bit worried about adding something that is explicitly 1.2-compatible to my
build path.
Anyone familiar with the communities surrounding these libraries ? Hard to
tell from the outside.
Liebe Gruesse,
Joerg
