Re: [Java-player-developers] Interested in java-player

[Radu B. R. <ru...@cs...>]

Dear Leo,

Thank you for your interest in Javaclient and well, the whole Player project ! =)

You are right, the Javaclient project is very inactive at the moment, and a few interfaces need to have their XDR 
decoding routines fixed. It's a matter of hours (patching + testing), but unfortunately, my time is very limited these 
days, and, as I am not using Javaclient in my research work for now, I am unable to make those corrections myself at 
this point. Most of my efforts have gone towards the Player project itself as a whole, and well, my PhD thesis. =)

Therefore, any help would be highly appreciated, not just for me or for the project, but for the entire community who 
uses it and would like to use it in the future.

Let me know if you want to help, and I can guide you through some of its internals (not that big of a deal anyway as 
I've tried to make everything pretty straightforward).

Cheers,
Radu.
