I have an immediate need for Aglets to run under the latest Java technology. If I had my way, I would bring Aglets up to the 21st century first (Java 2) with all its bells and whistles.

Dear Gregory, Check out http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~muniandy/agletsd-j2/1_2/ . Somebody ported it. I've used it with 1.3 and it works just fine.

Actually, check out Robert's recent posting (which I will quote for you in case you hadn't joined the list at that point): "There are two versions of the ASDK in CVS -- aglets1_1 and aglets1_2. This code has spawned three "releases". What's referred to as 1.1B3 is the aglets1_1 codebase which was the last official release from IBM before opening the source. This code runs on JDK 1.1.8 and is probably the most stable version (relatively speaking). There is another "release" of the 1.1 codebase with modifications to compile under Java 2. Note, that this is /not/ what is in the aglets1_2 codebase. This version is maintained by Kovalan Muniandy at http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~muniandy/agletsd-j2/. Finally, there is the aglets1_2 codebase which I believe was IBM's next version of aglets. It compiles under Java 2 (I use 1.3), and the biggest change is that it uses the security features of Java 2 (the keystore for example).

Duh, okay Gregory please ignore my ignorant postings. :P That's what I get for reading my e-mails recent-first! Sorry for making a mess of this nice list already -- I'll control my impulses from now on. :( I have a question; is it necessary to continue the aglets1_1 code? We can always keep it around as the "final IBM release"... but it seems to me that this should be a CVS branch-tagged version, not a separate code-base. But I suppose we have what we have, and will have to make do. It seems like the obvious thing to do is to continue with aglets1_2; iron it out and improve it as necessary. As for other "versions" of aglets; this is another thing I want to ask about. How exactly would we maintain all the different ports of aglets effectively? Right now we are having trouble maintaining ports for Java 1 and 2! Maybe we could keep the "versions" limited to only different aglet server implementations. Like a server for Java Micro-Edition or whatever. These could then all be in the same codebase. [I'm just throwing this out, feel free to object!] It would also be nice to have other front-ends for an aglets server -- like a JSP version of the AWT Tahiti (I haven't even looked at the code yet, I don't know how hard this would be). Besides JSP, there could be Swing, Applet, ... even proprietary ones like COM, KDE2, etc. I second the motion of bringing the 1_2 codebase up to speed.

I did receive Robert's message, but thanks for the info anyway. Now that Aglets is open source there seems to be a few different versions sprouting in a wild effort to bring it up to date. I would like to see these verions combined into one version, managed by the open source folks, that is stable and provides the ability to make use of all the wonderful features of Java 2. Once that is accomplished, the open source group can manage the addition of new platforms. If things continue the way they are, Aglets will quickly become just a general name given to a ton of different mobility packages. > -----Original Message----- > From: Daryl Beattie [SMTP:Da...@sc...] > Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 1:22 PM > To: 'agl...@li...' > Cc: 'Ferrari, Gregory D' > Subject: RE: [Aglets-developer] The Project > > Actually, check out Robert's recent posting (which I will quote for you in > case you hadn't joined the list at that point): > > "There are two versions of the ASDK in CVS -- aglets1_1 and aglets1_2. > This > code has spawned three "releases".

I suggest taking a long hard look at the Gnu model for managing open source with different platforms and versions. It's tried and true, and seems to be working very well. > -----Original Message----- > From: Daryl Beattie [SMTP:Da...@sc...] > Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 1:37 PM > To: 'agl...@li...' > Subject: RE: [Aglets-developer] The Project > > Duh, okay Gregory please ignore my ignorant postings. :P That's what I > get > for reading my e-mails recent-first!

Thanks for helping keep SourceForge clean.
