[news.eclipse.technology.ofmp] Re: OFMP Services

Richard,

I just had a brief look at your JavaDocs and XDoc source quotes (using Maven is not a bad idea btw, though some people at QCon also criticized parts of it ;-)

While I can see nothing on the actual money as such and classes like "Quote" are not precise enough (we had plenty of discussions in JSR-275 about the use of double vs. more precise forms like BigDecimal) a lot of those classes show a strong reassemblence of ideas and patterns used by this JCP group: JSR 310: Date and Time API.

Therefore I think you might want to get in touch with their Spec Lead such as Stephen Colebourne and discuss wheter your ideas may be beneficial for this JSR?

Much of it, especially Holiday Calculations may exceed the scope of the actual JSR (I'm sure, Stephen knows that) but instead of using some of your own proprietary classes "reinventing" Joda or JSR 310 I would rather use them (at least in any form of contribution to OFMP)
