Java Synchronization Foundry / News: Recent posts

This is a preliminary release that includes significant refactoring of the core classes.

Overall, incomplete thoughts were removed (well, most of them)
JavaDocs are improved
Builds using ANT
Better package structure
JUnit tests for all core packages
Includes all signficant functionality of jSynch 1.0 although some components are still subject to refactoring.

After a long hiatus I am actively engaged in re-factoring certain aspects of jSynch to have a cleaner design. Primary focus is on fundamental jSynch package (org.opentrust.jsynch) and I will probably release a jSynch-lite that does not include more complex aspects such as ThreadPooling, TimerQueue and Transactional Caching.

New jSynch release: .96 beta

LockableQueue:
Fixed (portential) problem in LockableQueue where closing the queue (without abandoning) caused waiting threads to get a ClosedException while threads coming in from the outside did not. The close was too harsh when the queueItems.size() > 0. So set the fPendingClose flag to true and fClosed to false. When the last item is removed, the normal close will happen.... read more

jSynch now uses the JMK (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmk) make to build the jSynch package. Because JMK is platform-independent this means building jSynch on Linux/Solaris should be a no-brainer.

This effectively obsoletes the .cmd and .bat files for Win NT.

Contains ThreadPooling, TimerQueue's, Transactional/Atomic Caching, PriorityQueue's, and more

The first project release of jSynch (ver 0.9) is available for download and testing.
