Notes:
The Abora-White sub-project is a Java implementation of the
Udanax-Gold server that has been auto-translated from the original
Smalltalk, and then manually converted for a better fit with the Java
world.
The aim is to get some useful subset of the Udanax-Gold server
running, and to end up with a code base that as much as possible will
provide a base from which other developers can call from their
applications or even build on. To help with this, efforts are being
expended on; reasonable JavaDoc and overview documents, JUnit test
cases, and simple example applications.
The current implementation is only of interest to interested
developers. All you will be able to do is run tests and generate
javadoc!
Changes:
-Imported rest of Udanax-Gold collections and the bulk of the
CoordinateSpace classes
-Added reasonable test coverage for collection.sets
-Started test coverage for cellection.tables and Integer
CoordinateSpaces.
-Included Clover support for generating test coverage reports

Release Name: 20030216
Notes:
Udanax-Gold2Java is a simple auto-translator between
the Udanax-Gold Smalltalk source, as released by XOC,
into approximate Java. There will be 1000's of
compilation problems afterwards. See Abora-White
project for the start of a working Java implementation
based on Udanax-Gold.
Includes:
-Original XOC source from a few locations
-Translator program
-Abora-Gold holds auto-translation results plus missing class placeholders
-JavaDoc generated from Abora-Gold
Changes:
-Added ability to not-generate the translated method body
-Added extra missing classes as placeholders
-Pass through IntegerVar references rather than converting to int
-Generated JavaDoc for resulting Abora-Gold

Simple automatic translator for Udanax-Gold Smalltalk source into
approximate Java. There will be LOTS of compilation problems with the
result and so can't be run, but may prove useful for educational
purposes.
The original Udanax-Gold source is included plus some additional
associated Smalltalk and C++ source found elsewhere on the web.
The results of the translation are added to an Abora-Gold project that
also includes some hand created missing classes place-holders.

Since the Christmas holidays I have put the Dolphin demo aside and continued with an earlier work of translating the Udanax-Gold Smalltalk source into Java. Depending on how this goes over the next few weeks, I am hoping to either use this as a base for a new version of the Abora server, or attempt to import the Coordinate Space and Ent features into a Java version of my previous Dolphin server.
The translation is working from Udanax-Gold source code gained from a few sources; Typed Smalltalk directly from XOC and via Les Tyrell plus some of the C++ code from Jeff Rush's CVS server. Even with this patchwork of sources, I am still misses a number of classes. I have a home grown translator that converts the Smalltalk into approximate Java, to which I am gradually adding knowledge of the Gold programming techniques. Even with the translator I am expecting a lot of manual work will be required to finish off a first pass with minimal compilation problems. The C++ code I am copying and hand tweaking. I will be creating JUnit tests as I start investigating the resulting code.
At the time of writing there are still 5000+ compilation problems so it's too early for others to productively work with. If you are still interested all the source is available under CVS, the JavaTranslator and Gold projects.
