Use better libraries

[volgar1x]

Typesafe has done an incredible work on their config library and I think it's actually the best choice of all existing config libraries. Furthermore, it's open-source and you could get them from github : typesafehub/config

[baskwo]

I'll go check it :)

Besides @typesafehub/config, you should take a look to Guava, an excellent JDK extension with awesome classes (which will replace some commons-* Apache libs) or Guice, the best inversion of control and dependency injection I ever used.
PS: I renamed that issue to "Use better libraries"

Guava, does it have a better performence than Apache commons libs? Or is it only because you don't want to have a lot of lib? x) And for Guice.. I'm trying to understand where it could be really useful. Cause now, all what i'm seeing is : Change your "new" call by a Factory.. x)

It's a lot more than that, you should take a look to my project Emudofus/Mambo and see by yourself concrete example. At first sight it's really hard and useless but if it's done right you have a very flexible system.

Ok, I understand how it works. Yeah we could use Guice. And what about Guava? Is it really useful?

[baskwo]

Should we use Spring with Guice? Or just Guice is ok?

[baskwo]

I just read a little bit on Guava, and that really useful! Finaly, we have some lambdas expression x)

[volgar1x]

Guice is enough in many case and Spring will not be useful. Some extensions like multi bindings are really amazing and let you make an highly flexible system (I built my own IG command manger on it).
You should wait for the JDK8 before using lambda-like method because anonymous class make your code a little messy ;-)

Dac-o-dak :)
