The fact that they have "invented" BDD only shows that they don't (or didn't) understand what TDD is, not that they've invented anything new. Using the BDD term just confuses things, is a lazy use of language and is a pointless new buzzword that has absolutely no meaning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678855.post-1152039252097890922006-07-04T11:54:00.000-07:002006-07-04T11:54:00.000-07:00Isn't that the exact word Dave Astels said in his ...Isn't that the exact word Dave Astels said in his presentation?

I just happen to be very interested in this area at the moment and I just found Jakarta-Commons-VFS so I had it on the brain. I haven't even tried J-C-VFS yet so I guess I was really wondering whether Cotta was a response to problems you'd found there.<BR/><BR/>I agree about distinguishing files from directories... always found that strange in io.File.<BR/>I also very much like the idea of InMemoryFileSystem.<BR/><BR/>Thanks and good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678855.post-1151925523830684092006-07-03T04:18:00.000-07:002006-07-03T04:18:00.000-07:00I said *NORMAL* file operations, not *ALL* file op...I said *NORMAL* file operations, not *ALL* file operations.
