Thats one of the many things I dislike abut Java.
The unit of reuse is not the class but what Boochj calls the class
*category* (a package in UML, except package can mean other things too)
A category is a group of coupled classes where they are all
required to produce the reuse function. These categhories should
ideally be implemented in a single file to make redistribution
and configuration control easier. Javba breaks that model and
thereby introduces major headaches in configuration management
when categories get reused across projects.
However I won't say any more about Java today - its bad for
my bloodpressure!
