[Php-java-bridge-users] Fwd: Java.inc client refactored (soluble-japha)

[<php...@li...>]

Hi,

Just to share some work I did on the refactoring of the Java.inc client and
standalone server.

For the little story, I've been using the php-java-bridge project in few
mission critical projects for the last 6 years... Mostly using Java from
PHP.

I may be totally wrong but I feel the project have no clear maintainers
anymore, so I've just ended up rewriting some parts. For now you can have a
look to the client side (replacing Java.inc) on github. See the
https://github.com/belgattitude/soluble-japha/ repository to get more
information.

I've changed the API mainly to support namespaces, php7, hhvm... but you
can still use a compatibility layer if you rely on java_* global functions
: https://github.com/belgattitude/soluble-japha-pjb62-compat

I've also set up a repository for the standalone server (including a
freshly compiled JDK1.7+ JavaBridge.jar) : https://github.com/
belgattitude/pjbserver-tools. And created a fork on github for the server
part : https://github.com/belgattitude/php-java-bridge. I'm using it to
compile and debug the server part.

If you like to contribute you can open issues on github :
https://github.com/belgattitude/soluble-japha/issues or send a PR. I'll try
my best to answer.

To be clear, I'm not part of the original php-java-bridge team that have
done a wonderful work making this possible.

But I feel that's fair for me to publish the changes I've made in the past
year. It may help or encourage some of you to use the bridge.

All my work is licensed under MIT license so feel free to use and
contribute...

Have a great day.
