During > that period the Enhydra projects have been very successful and we > were able to achieve our open source goals, but unfortunately, > not the commercial goals necessary to continue the initiative. > Despite the views of the public critics we still share desire to > see Enhydra.org continue and the work we founded to develop and > thus have been looking for alternatives to closing down the site. > Indeed we recently encouraged projects to find alternative homes, > however given the generous offer from ObjectWeb I think there is > a better solution - not to move and break up the cohesiveness of > the projects, but rather to leave the projects where they are! > Having been involved with ObjectWeb since its inception I know > the commitment and resources that this team of people share and > thus I can't recommend strongly enough that you support this > effort.

Unlike the W3C, the main target of ObjectWeb > is not the definition of new standards, but the development of a > coherent set of high-quality Open Source middleware components. > This includes implementations of major relevant standards in the > area of distributed systems. The ObjectWeb code base supports > most of the relevant middleware standards, such as Sun's EJB[tm] > and OMG CORBA. > > The ObjectWeb and Enhydra cooperation has been going on since > 1999, in particular with the integration of the ObjectWeb JOnAS > J2EE/EJB server (http://www.objectweb.org/jonas) within Lutris > EAS. ObjectWeb projects have also been using Enhydra > technologies such as Zeus. > > By hosting Enhydra.org, ObjectWeb aims at extending cooperation > between the two Open Source communities and will ensure that the > Enhydra group of projects has a safe and open haven for the > future.
