[Building Sakai] [Announcements] Deprecation Notice: kernel static covers

[Mark Norton]

-1, while I agree that injection is the preferred approach, it is my 
believe that eliminating the static covers RAISES the barrier to writing 
Sakai tools.  Furthermore, there are likely many existing contrib tools 
that use covers that would require significant modification.  While I'm 
in favor of good programming techniques, I think eliminating this 
approach to Sakai development is a bad idea.

Developers are urged to review their code and replace the use of static covers with spring injection or lookup from the component manager in line with stated Sakai best practices [http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/SAKDEV/Best+Practices+for+Kernel+code#BestPracticesforKernelcode-Nousageofstaticcovers]. The covers are scheduled for removal in Kernel 2.0.0
