Can't find most up-to-date documentation
I'm looking into using Archaius, but your documentation seems to be very out-of-date: https://github.com/Netflix/archaius/wiki. That wiki seems to be referencing a pre-1.0 version, and it looks like you have had multiple 2.x releases now. I'm assuming the 2.x releases are backwards-incompatible with pre-1.0 releases.
Do you have more up-to-date user documentation somewhere else for 2.x, or hosted Javadocs that I can look at?
Thanks!
Is this project dead? It seems like v2 was never documented, as well as pretty dead in terms of ownership.
As I've looked more at this project since I posted this issue, I'm pretty sure this project is indeed either dead or almost-dead. No one has responded to almost any issue during this year, and I found this file in the repo that indicates Archaius is in maintenance mode: https://github.com/Netflix/archaius/blob/master/OSSMETADATA
@dsw88 I was under the impression that file is relevant to version one.
Do you know anything similar to this library? It seems like the closest option is the apache common one.
Usually when I've seen that file set to maintenance in other Netflix projects it means the entire project is in maintenance mode.
As for alternatives, you can use Spring Cloud Config if you are using Spring Boot. Netflix themselves have supposedly been adopting Spring Boot, which is likely why many projects like this are being abandoned. That's just a guess, however, since I'm not affiliated with Netflix in any way.
V1 is indeed no longer maintained and the supported releases are in the v2 track.
We'll be trying to get a bit more attention to the project to do cleanup work like this in the near future.
