--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DNA-561
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-561
             Project: DNA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Graph, JCR
    Affects Versions: 0.6
         Environment: Jboss as 6 M1
Weld 1.0.1 (Trunk)
DNA 0.7 Snapshot
            Reporter: John Ament
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.7


DNA is using a google collections api from May 2008.  They are currently at 1.0 r 4.

Weld, part of Java EE 6, also uses google collections, but a newer version, 1.0 r3.

There are a number of API differences, mainly in how objects are instantiated (many of the methods used by DNA are replaced by create methods in the objects in question).   It makes writing an app that uses both DNA and Weld impossible (since both versions of google collections need to be loaded).  As a result, I have created a patch that will correct this.  Unit tests and functional tests are completed and work as I would expect.

Setting complexity to medium since it requires changing a library.
