They are generics, so I would think the best and proper way to make use of them from an OS Services library would be to put that library in its own package hierarchy and simply instantiate the appropriate containers when needed. They use a particular style where generic packages are often children of other generic packages so that one has to instantiate the parent and then instantiate the child off of the parent (sometimes with other generics packages "mixed in" as generic parameters). I'd think you'd want to keep them together as a unit, and put any other non-component packages in another (perhaps sibling) package hierarchy. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html No trees were killed in the sending of this message.
