[Jchassis-devel] JChassis update

[<sjs...@ya...>]

Hi all,

Its been a while since I did an update on the progress of
JChassis. Firstly, the web site have been restructured and
updated. There are numerous changes, incuding an update to 
the project status, and the including of the javadoc for the
core and basic frameworks.

Updates on the project progress:

1. The core framework code has been polished and thoughroughly
javadoced, adding all of the material in the original designs into
the javadoc. The original designs are now obsoleted.

2. Example code for using the core framework and the existing 
JChassis utils (command line parser, logging and SAX2 parser) 
has been produced.
See the code in CVS:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jchassis/v1/core/examples/
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jchassis/v1/util/examples/

3. I'm working on example code for the basic framework.

4. I'm also working on designs for the JChassis "module" 
system: modules are deployable JAR files that contain 
the class files for JChassis services, plus some useful 
metadata. Basically, think of the JCHassis module system 
as something similar to the Debian dpkg and apt systems, 
but for Java software components. 

The incomplete designs can be viewed here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jchassis/v1/module/doc/designs/
Any comments would be appreciated.

5. Work on polishing the basic framework continues...


We also have a new team member, Gautam, who has joined us
recently. Pleae make him feel welcome.

Cheers,
Sam.
