JSP taglibs? wtf are you talking about. I'm in no way defending the idiocy of 'enterprise java'. and your other points don't really make any sense at all. There is no such thing as 'fozen solid code'. Unless you're interfacing to external libraries etc and have agreed on a specific API, which is unlikely to include "yeah just reference 'bar' directly" unless you're insane.
