About

This project provides common classes and utilities for use in other Java projects. This may include 3rd party libraries as well as Brightcove Open Source libraries.

Requirements

Whenever possible, the libraries will be compatible with Java 1.5, but in some cases Java 1.6 may be required. Each commons library should make note of this.

Downloads

Version 3.0.3:

This version fixes a bug in the BC Commons - Catalog Objects package. Requesting toJson() on a Video object could result in calling methods on null Date objects. This has been fixed so that an empty string will be used instead.
