[guava] The Guava release is coming

[Kevin Bourrillion]

Hello Guava users,

We're preparing for the first binary release of Guava, which will be release 3 (as there have been two previous source-only "releases", if you want to call them that).

I've checked in the sources and the javadoc, and put a hastily-thrown-together downloadable zip here for you to sanity-check (if you would, please):

  http://guava-libraries.googlecode.com/files/guava-r03RC.zip

If all goes well this can become a real release on Monday!  (Yes, we'll even do whatever Maven fu is needed then, too.)

What's new in this release?  That's a long story!  I should be able to get it all typed up tomorrow.

Please send any feedback.

Any chance of a Maven POM and deployment to a repository? There's a
guide to uploading to the here: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html

Both the google-collections and the jsr305 dependencies are already in
the central repository. I ask because I use Guava in a Maven based
project I'm hoping to start doing releases on soon.

I've been pitching guava and google collections before it into my local Artifactory with great success.  It works wonders for closed source projects.  Not so much for open source though.

Any way Kevin did say he'd do our "maven foo."

I'm just curious, is there a specific use case for
Objects.firstNonNull()?

Is there a reason this use case wouldn't be better served by a varargs
method, or perhaps in Itera*s?

It's a convenient method for when you want to default an argument.

String username = Objects.firstNonNull(parameterSet.get("username"), "DEFAULT_USER");

It's used hundreds of times at Google, but uses for three or more args don't come up much.

If you do want it for an Iterable:  return Iterables.find(it, Predicates.notNull());

That makes a lot of sense. I knew there had to be a use case,
otherwise it wouldn't be in there.

Partly done (see my other message earlier tonight). The poms are in
the source base now, so you can cleanly build them yourself from
scratch. We'll get it all into the central repo shortly.
