[Java-player-users] Incompatable Interfaces

[John O. <joh...@wa...>]

We have been getting a number of these issues on the mailing lists due
to the incompatibility between 2.1 and javaclient2. I read from Leo
Nomdedeu that a solution is being worked on. Could I ask what the form
of this solution is? Due to the fact that player seems to change its
protocols quite often if we change the classes to fit the current spec
is it not quite likely we will be back in the same position in a year
or so when things change again. 

I notice that the pack functions for the communications in player are
generated at compile time using a python script (playerxdrgen.py).
Could we not modify this to allow us to generate the java side too thus
allowing us to keep player and Javaclient in sync without manually
making the changes?

Unfortunately I do not have too much time to attempt this myself,
however I was wanting to gauge reaction to see if this was the current
approach or if anyone thinks this is possible.

Thanks
John Oliver
