==== Description: ====
This project is a collection of Java libraries that bring some basic
functionality to Java projects, including:
- Unix-like module configuration system
- Extended unit-testing support (based on JUnit)
- Web service mock testing
- Some specific collections implementations, including N-graphs
- Spring & hibernate integration
- Fast deep object tree cloning suport
- ...

This library has been extensively used for several years in several realworld
Java projects and has been matured enough to be released as open-source to be
freely shared.

==== Other Comments: ====
This is my second submission of the BUILTU. I have addressed all issues
previoulsy specified by Alex Fernandez, including but not limited to:

1) "The file util/clown/doc/readme.txt speaks about "open source". While the
Open Source movement promotes a similar approach to software development to
free software, the GNU project favors the latter for ethical reasons. Please
read about why free software is a better term
<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html>", "That file
also speaks about "an apache license". This contradicts the
license headers." - This file was part of the documentation from Cloning java
library. I have extracted this library into "lib" folder with appropriate
license file.
2) "All pom.xml files need a license header (as an XML comment). Same for
all
other XML files." - the license header is added to all .xml files
3) "A readme file with licensing info for artwork (such as
mime/src/test/resources/test.jpg) is required." - I simply replaced this file
with blank image that has license text printed on it. (since it is just a test
file anyway, I don't actually mind it's look)
4) "A bit of cleanup would probably be good: the tarball contains all .svn" -
I have done svn export instead of svn checkout
directories and all .class files, besides Eclipse artifacts.
5) "Just a detail, but aren't Java packages supposed to be called
"com.builtu..." or "org.builtu..."? They all start with builtu... " - good
point, I've done it.
6) "For convenience, the top directory in builtu.tar.gz should be called
'builtu', not 'code'. " - done it.
