Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Jakarta Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by RahulAkolkar: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta/JakartaBoardReport-June2006 The comment on the change is: Torsten, please cross-check (I've corrected the BCEL release version number) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ==== BCEL ==== - The main contributors have left the project over the years. Obviously still quite a few users though. With a few people we managed so apply the outstanding patches and close many bugs. After 3 years we just released BCEL 3.2 as a bugfix release. Due to the lack of recent activity at least 2 communites (findbugs and aspectj) are known to have forked BCEL and maintain their own version. They have implemented features (JDK1.5 support, speed and memory handling improvements) that we would like try to port back. A GSoC student is currently trying to implement JDK1.5 and -if time permits- JDK1.6 support in BCEL. Contribution happens through jira without a special branch. We are in contact with the other communities. No one is excited yet - we got positive feedback. They are interested in JDK 1.6 support as well. We might have a chance to drag them back to BCEL. This could be a good chance to increase the number of active committers again. Hopefully we will see another relase afte r the GSoC. + The main contributors have left the project over the years.

Unfortunately only few PMC members (at least two) are on the development list at the moment. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
