[Springframework-developer] Spring references: Compiere, Jasper ?

[Double D. <dou...@ya...>]

Rod, Juergen,

Now that Spring is getting recognition as the leading
Opensource Java Framework for Enterprise Applications
(assuming Spring 1.1 will handle Security).

So, what are needed next are real REFERENCES for real
enterprise applications.  Internal Corporate
applications would be nice references, but those would
just be words.  

Much more powerful references would be to get the
leading Opensource Enterprise Applications to use
Spring.  Perhaps the Spring community can evangelize
to the projects below.

ERP e.g. http://sourceforge.net/projects/compiere/
Reports e.g.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jasperreports/
EIP e.g.
http://jakarta.apache.org/jetspeed/site/index.html
RDBMS e.g.
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/axion.html

In particular, the ultimate reference would be to get
Compiere ERP to use Spring.  Compiere is very popular
(see download stats on SourceForge).  It is 100% Java
and uses the Mozilla License.  The current
LinuxMagazine has a nice interview with the founders
of the project, but I can’t find it.  Since they are
building an ERP, they are conservative (until now,
they only target Oracle).  Their next major task is to
support other databases.  A nice way for Spring to
help.

Cheers,
DD.
