Hi list, I would like to support the new java wrapper maintainer, Alejandro with the task of maintaining java-atk-wrapper since the whole module needs updating having been abandoned back in 2011 until recently when I submitted a patch to allow it to be built successfully on the latest version of GNOME[1,2]. I also updated the doap to reflect reality and conform to the latest doap standard used by GNOME[3]
The first commit since 2011, were just this week and, it's fair to say that the module has generally got a bit old and suboptimal over time.[4] I reckon it would really be great to put a bit more brainspace and time into improving things for java(by making use of what the most current java API can offer and ensuring that the module is wrapping the latest interface methods. For example, at the moment the text interface is completely outdated and this is likely to create problems for users if it is not dealt with.[5] Provided there are no objections, I will add myself to the doap file and maintain this module. Many thanks, Magdalen [1] https://git.gnome.org/browse/java-atk-wrapper/log/ [2] https://git.gnome.org/browse/java-atk-wrapper/commit/?id=3645e6dca48c461afa6d4ffa61a710c85b7bcf0c [3] https://git.gnome.org/browse/java-atk-wrapper/commit/?id=dca347d27dc4ce0eb8dd52af2ce4fcd90a5a8bda [4] https://git.gnome.org/browse/java-atk-wrapper/ [5] https://git.gnome.org/browse/java-atk-wrapper/tree/wrapper/org/GNOME/Accessibility/AtkText.java
