I thought the validation annotation problem would be solved in this new version, but it is still there. Although the annotations function fine, it gives warning message when ever you use them.

Colin,

Thanks for releasing 0.9 of Modules, I'm sure a lot of hard work went into it's compilation. I hope this doesn't come across as snarky, but I'm curious when the issue around removing a single object from cache will eventually make it's way into a release? It's been around since 0.5, and keeps getting put off (now until 0.10). It seems to be a show-stopper for many people looking at implementing Declarative Caching in their apps.

Thanks!

Without being all cryptic and mysterious I don't expect anything to happen in the next couple of months, however things should get pretty interesting after that...

[RShelley]

Ok, that's terribly cryptic and mysterious... at least give me hope that SOMETHING is in the works...

One feature I'd like to see is the ability to have access to the 'target' object and method that was invoked. Currently, we're able to write our own providers, but when using annotations, we can obtain any custom annotations on the method since we don't have access to the method.

This feature isn't hard to implement (I already did it and tested it out locally, I can send it over), but it does have a slight impact on the 'providers' that are already existing. They would need to extend a class vs implementing an interface.

Best Regards,
Richard L. Burton III

Are you going to upload it to Maven central repository?

[Clay]

I'd love to see this up on the central Maven repo.

Thanks!

[Karsten Gresch]

First congrats to your new release. I really appreciate you didn't jump to 1.0 though spring-modules contains mature code :-)

Anyway - are there any plans to publish the modules to the Maven central repository?

Keep up your good work!
