[OT] Microsoft Sets Tolls for .Net Developers

2001-10-25 Thread Jon Stevens

Why am I not surprised?

The funny thing is that even in this down economy and with all the free
(better?) alternatives that are out there, people will actually still pay
for this stuff!

We should put a paypal link on the Jakarta homepage and donate the money to
AIDS research or some other worthy cause.

 I would like to know why they don't redistribute it.

Because the amount of paperwork needed to legally distribute it is 
hge. The US export laws do allow non-profits and indviduals to 
distribute crypto things but they have to jump through a few hoops and make 
sure they fill out oodles of stuff. 

Avalon was going to distribute it until Craig dropped a note on commons or 
ant list regarding this and gave a link. I followed it and it was much too 
much work to get it done legally so we dropped it. Craig do you still have 
that link ? 

 I think (ii) is funny because from what I'm hearing is that Jboss has
 modified it and is distributing it because there is a serious classloader
 problem in it.

And we all know how JBoss only does things that are legal  right ?

Please note: people from other projects are giving their vote...while the
voice is appreciated, that vote doesn't really count since it is only the
PMC's decision to include new projects.

Export regulation, I believe... When you add that to (iv), we should
definitely check the originating IP address, and make sure we're not
exporting crypto stuff in places where we shouldn't... I believe that
regarding cryptographic software there are still a lot of hurdles to clear.

(I believe we don't even redistribute OpenSSL together with Apache 2.0, even
though it's required to build the SSL module in it).

 Hi,

 Markus has just informed me that he has removed the GNU regexp dependency
 from the BCEL and is using the Jakarta Regexp package.

 I think it was generally agreed that the package is complete, highly useful
 and many people expressed an interested in having it be a Jakarta project.
 Markus has already made a first pass at organizing the source in a Jakarta
 like format and I have offered to help with the rest of work if we agree to
 accept the package into Jakarta.

 So, for the movement of BCEL to apache I would like to vote

Re: [OT] Microsoft Sets Tolls for .Net Developers

2001-10-25 Thread James Strachan

Agreed. I've also been suprised by the recent rise in FUD thats coming our
way...

http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-10-2001/jw-1019-iw-netvsjava.html?

A nice MS marketting strategy seems to be comparing .Net to EJBs rather than
to Java (or Servlets or JAXM or whatnot). Hardly a fair or useful
comparison. .Net still seems to use COM under the covers anyways so COM v
EJB or .NET v. Java seems more sensible but then I suppose thats the point
of FUD afterall.

unfortunately, there is an entire class of developer that can only build
software using microsoft tools.

microsoft has moved into .edu territory and is giving away their tools for
free.  the kids are becoming attached to them.

RE: [OT] Microsoft Sets Tolls for .Net Developers

2001-10-25 Thread Fernandez Martinez, Alejandro
Title: RE: [OT] Microsoft Sets Tolls for .Net Developers





I don't understand the business model behind .NET. The article mentions developers paying to develop and deploy services, but also users paying to use them.

Paying for an online agenda? document storage? e-wallet? This looks like the e-commerce flop on steroids.


Un saludo,


Alex.

BCEL @ Jakarta

2001-10-25 Thread Jason van Zyl

Hi,

Here's a summary of the PMC voting with respect to moving BCEL
to Jakarta:

[+1] Peter Donald
[+1] Pierpaolo Fumagalli
[+1]Ted Husted
[ ] Ceki Gülcü
[+1] Geir Magnusson Jr.
[ ] Vincent Massol
[+1] Craig McClanahan
[+1] Sam Ruby
[+1] Daniel Savarese
[+1] Jon Stevens
[+1] Jason van Zyl

This gives us the 3/4 PMC approval rating so I believe BCEL will be moving
to Jakarta unless Ceki and/or Vincent express disapproval. We'll let this
float for another day or two to let anyone get their votes/concerns
registered.

Re: RMI Messaging

2001-10-25 Thread James Strachan



JXTA is an attempt to define peer-peer based 
protocols. (http://jxta.org)

RMI is client-server and so not the best way of 
doing peer based messaging. You might find JMS useful instead for publish / 
subscribe or queue based communication. Publish / subscribe is very peer 
based.

While MS does a lot of things wrong, this isn't one of them. The $1000 fee
is for a business to use Microsoft's .Net My Services, their web services,
not for doing .NET development.

How about the EFF?? I would think this is the best cause epecially for this
community.

The EFF has a paypal account setup and they have a CGI based API for doing this
type of purchase.  At the end it would redirect to the download page of your
choice.
