[Jython-users] Jython use cases inside Rackspace, IBM, Oracle, Vert.x

[Fernando C. <fc...@gm...>]

Looking around I was able to gather a few use cases for Jython at major
corporations and corporate products, that I wasn´t previously aware of.

The BURP security scanner uses Jython for scripting
http://portswigger.net/burp/help/extender.html

Jython is used internally by the Vert.x 2 app server, for Python support
(see last paragraph)
http://vertx.io/vertx2/manual.html

Jython is also used by IBM,
1. in its Websphere App Server, for scripting
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#%21/wiki/Tivoli%20Service%20Request%20Manager/page/Jython%20Scripts
2. in Tivoli SRM
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/ibmpressisbn/9780137009527?Open
3. in Maximo Asset Management Solution

Last year, Oracle added Jython support for spcripting to its FDMEE
(Financial Data Quality Management, Enterprise Edition) -previous versions
used VBscript

Oracle also uses Jython in its Oracle Data Integrator (ODI)

Oracle also uses Jython in RDIC (Remote Intradoc Client)

Could these be added to the Jython page, under a "Who uses Jython?" link,
featured prominently atop the main page?

I know Jim Baker maintains a small list of Jython usage cases in his Github
account at
https://github.com/jimbaker/talks/blob/master/jython-at-rackspace.md

I think it´d be great if at the main page we could implement an
horizontally scrolling list of logos of all the firms that use Jython,
linking to such wiki list it would greatly help increase its visibility and
momentum.

I volunteer to maintain such list.

It's mind blowing that despite all the hard work by Frank, Jim and the rest
of the contributors, Jython needs to be continuously countering FUD (Fear,
Uncertainly, and Doubt) saying that "it's dead", as for instance in the
following Quora question, until I replied with some facts...

Just an idea.
