Re: [pm2erglib] Any life in this project?

[Terry B. <ta...@ta...>]

Well, I have been thinking about it. I've been rowing, I also like java and
I would like to be able to at least capture sessions. And import them into other
programs. I saw that the spec came out and have it here on my desktop totally 
unread. So maybe I'll read it and see what I can make of it. (OK I just read it).

At one time I had considered using the commapi so pm2 applications could run on Unix,
Win or a Mac. But the Commapi doesn't seem to be that viable. Blackdown has a version for
Linux, I'm not sure that most Mac's even HAVE a serial port any more so I think maybe the Mac is out.

So at this point I'm not sure that the Commapi is worth using with java. Maybe the thing to do is to define a standard interface that can be implemented as a) JNI to a windows DLL or b) JNI to a Linux library or c) a commapi interface. The advantage of a JNI interface is that the same DLL or Library could potentially be used by a C programs as 
well.

Next is the definition of an api to access the data?
