Re: [Java-player-users] Questions about where to start upgrading JavaClient

[Leo N. <leo...@gm...>]

Hi there

I have received recently good news about this porting, and that is that I
have a new student under my supervision with a grant to develop this port,
so we all can work together ;)

Right now we are studing different posible C proprocessors to be able to
"parse" the javac.h file and generate "Java Value Object" able of encoding
and decoding themselves into and from XDR. The XDR library has some minor
changes, basically because we have ported also the javaclient to J2ME.
The first approach I made a year and a half ago was using the PCPP class
from "gluegen" project to do this work. I had some problems, like lacking
array support, and so on, that made me spend more time than programed at the
beggining. Now, and with this new guy working on this, I hope to be able to
release something not long from now.

Anyway we have to work on this also at the design level as I would like to
provide a much easier java client for player, specially regarding the
Threaded/nonThreaded stuff.

By the way, Radu (or any other one), do you have any sort of UML like
diagram of the current JavaClient?
