Hi Don:

I would like to reactivate our collaboration so that users
of Demeter/Java also benefit from your work.

Our collaboration so far is archived in:
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/design-decisions/collection-classes 

Do your generated collection classes implement the interface
which Doug proposed?

We generate accessor functions of the form get_x() for instance variable x.
Will this be a problem?

We were also talking about the reverse: combining Jakarta and Demeter.
In Demeter/Java we have a nice traversal package which is very good
at handling traversals of objects

Traversals are probably common in Jakarta since it is a tool
to build generators.

To see the many traversals in Demeter/Java, see:
