Re: [Jsynthlib-devel] Driver for Roland JV-80/880

Hi,

If you don't mind and you agree to distribute your driver under GPL, we
are happy to merge your driver into JSynthLib distribution.

Sander> Will the JSynthLib CVS version support (my) Java 1.5 source code?

What do you mean?  The current CVS version works well with Java 1.5
environment.  Actually I started using Java 1.5 recently.  If you mean
you want to use new language feature introduced on Java 1.5, please
don't do that.  I think it is too early to make Java 1.5 as a
requirement instead of Java 1.4.2 at this point.

Sander> Is there any way to simplify writing the GUI code? Some patch editors

Sander> anyone :-)

A guy is working on XML driver.  Once it will be ready, you can create
patch editor by writing XML and some code.  But it seems that he has been
busy for study these days.
