[jnc-users] java.text request

[Lee D. P. <le...@3s...>]

Marco,

I have been looking to compile our application with JNC and we are now a
step closer to moving this into production. The one concern I have, is
that the java.text package in the latest release is from the Sun JRE.
Our application is SWT and I'd like to exclude GUI stuff altogether, for
size and licensing reasons. =20

The 1.0 version of JNC used java.text from the GNU classpath, I have
absolutely not issues with this version of JNC and will continue to use
it for the foreseeable future. My executable is an acceptable 2.3MB and
I have no licensing issues.

The 1.1 version includes java.text from the Sun JRE and so there are
both licensing and size issues with this.=20

Changing our source code is not really an option; we use many of the
date format functions of java.text as well as internationalization using
ResourceBundles etc.=20

So my question, would you consider reverting back to GNU classpath for
java.text in a future release (we have not encountered any problems with
it so far). Or at least provide the option to use java.text from the GNU
classpath so that we can continue to upgrade and use the latest version
of JNC.

Regards

Lee
