[news.eclipse.technology.ofmp] Re: OFMP -> EFP

Looks interesting.

However, for Currency exchange I would not reinvent the "wheel" for the 3rd 
time ;-)

1) you got a somewhat inept try in java.util.Currency (even some people 
involved in it agree, it could be better ;-)
2) you got a better approach automatically within Eclipse as ICU4J is 
mandatory and a core component of it (even on Android it is present, 
although this is otherwise not using Eclipse a lot)

And then you got your 3rd implementation.

Cards are all mixed new with EFP as it seems (no such code in SVN there) but 
if it is meant to be more succesful than OFMP, something so basic like 
Currency/Money and some models around it should clearly be reusable at least 
among other Eclipse projects. As a dedicated EFP subproject. With a little 
help from the JCP similar to EclipseLink this may even be an acceptable RI 
for a JSR.

How does that sound?
I have spread the word with many teams and people involved in either ICU, 
JCP or Eclipse. Many agree, this could become a better implementation than 
that tiny bit the JDK offers now.
