Indeed.  He did more specific examination here --

And, this post from one of the Prevayler authors (Carlos Villela)
seems like it ought to shut the whole thing down --

   Actually, Cameron described it better than any of us involved
   in the project did, which is kind of embarassing: "It's just
   a way to keep some of your live Java objects backed up in a
   file on disk for the next time you restart your application."

   I'm thankful for it being a fun project that got me started on
   the whole opensource Java thing, got me writing articles, got
   me in touch with agile software development methodologies, and
   offered me the opportunity to learn a lot while working on it.
   And, again, that's it. Now please, let's just get over this
   whole thing.

That doesn't look terribly solid, either -- last touched in late
2001, and last versioned 0.1.11 ....  Perhaps you could explain
the value you see in it, today?

Be seeing you,

Ted
