[jgrapht-developers] Re: Jalopy update

[John V. S. <js...@gm...>]

Some breaking news:  there's a new open-source release of Jalopy
available, and it has been upgraded to support JDK 1.5!  This is a great
example of the open-source model working:  the project was abandonded
when the original author created a closed-source fork for commercial
purposes, but because enough people still needed an open-source version,
others stepped in to revive it.

I'll experiment with the open-source release to see if it's stable enough.
