Trustin Lee commented on DIREVE-316:
------------------------------------
The original reason we forked commons-* is because of the infamous class loader problem when ApacheDS is embedded in WAS. This became a problem because WAS also used commons-* JARs. I guess this issue must have been resolved in many WAS in market. The
other reason I discussed with Alex was that commons-* projects sometimes introduces the change of behavior between minor version-ups, and it produces unexpected bugs. It makes sense, but it think this is a matter of trust for other projects. I think we
cannot say less dependency is a good thing IMHO.
BTW I had to fork NIO ByteBuffer because it was really hard to extend java.nio.ByteBuffer. 
> StringUtils & StringTools
> -------------------------
>
> Key: DIREVE-316
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIREVE-316
> Project: Directory Server
> Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
> Priority: Minor
>
> We have two classes which semantics are almost the same :
> - StringTools in ldap-common
> - StringUtils in asn1-codec
> The second one is horrible, because it overlaps with the a.o.commons.lang.StringUtils.
> I think it could be good to merge both classes into StringTools, and to move this class in a common subproject to be created (ads-commons, for instance).
> wdyt ?
