Are you sure?  I was using Tomcat before it came over to Apache and it did have
that Tomcat logo... or something very similar.

Anyone have an old .zip or tar :)

That is funny!

I saw it a year ago after ApacheCon on the mug you gave me...

I was just staring at it and it hit me... that is not a leg!

I either figured it was created by a TOTAL genius or just a random fluke!

Using JPDA to dump the state of a running VM.

2001-12-15 Thread Kevin A. Burton - burtonator


OK.

I create this project in the past

http://javacore.sourceforge.net/

but never added JPDA support because I didn't really have a JVM to play with.
JPDA in JDK 1.2.2 sucked but in 1.4 it is pretty solid.

It would be nice to have a project that could:

- connect to a running VM over IP

- suspend it dump the current state including threads, locals, source (if
available), etc.

- save the output to an XML file for later debugging.

This could be a win for Apache because it could enable us to accept 'core dumps'
from running server VMs so that we could debug them outside of their original
environment.

Thoughts?

Coding style addition

2001-12-15 Thread Kevin A. Burton - burtonator


Has this been accepted as psuedo standard across Jakarta?

http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/common/code-standards.html

I agree with 90% of it.

Also... I have noticed that a lot of code isn't formated to column 80.  A lot of
people aren't even trying!  :(

What do people think of this as an addition?

Perhaps.

It might be a good idea to have a default recommendation or a global standard.

Why is the Tomcat so frisky???

2001-12-15 Thread Kevin A. Burton - burtonator


http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/

OK.

What is the deal with that Tomcat logo?

I know it is from the old Tomcat product even while it is back at SUN.

Who was the artist?  Very cool that this was snuck past SUN marketing.

I mean it is a 2D picture correct?  Why does the kat have 3 legs?  

The point is that the 3rd black leg isn't really a leg.. right?

I mean Tomcats are really well known for one thing.  If you have seen one
roaming your neighborhood at 3AM.

Anyway... would be interesting to hear about how this got created.

Give jon a break.  With all the hard work he has done he at least deserves the
benefit of the doubt on all these e-mails.

When you come close to 1/5th the amount of work he has done for Apache then you
can judge.

I have no problem with you expressing your viewpoint but calling jon an

The OpenPrivacy project would like the announce the creation and initial release
(0.0.1) of Reptile.

Reptile is an Open Source/Free Software, Peer-to-Peer, content syndication
engine (think RSS/OCS), which is driven by Java/XML and is privacy
protection/Reputation enabled.  Reptile nodes can publish to each other
(everything is driven by XML based subscriptions) and provides a decentralized
authentication model based on public/private key crypto (and Reputation).

Reptile is still in active development but most core features necessary for

Just an FYI.

I have spent a lot of time recently working with the Hypersonic people.

There are a number of issues here.  It seems they talked to Apache in the past
about moving Hypersonic under Jakarta but were turned down.  Since then a lot
has happened.

It would be a huge changed in direction for them to move to Jakarta.  They are
creating a non-profit organization to push Hypersonic.  It seems that they have
put a lot of effort into this and I assume they would be hesitant to waste this
when moving over to Apache.

The other aspect, and one that *really* bothers me is that they don't seem to
want to work under the Apache Open Source Development Model.

There CVS modules are all over the place, redundant modules, unnecessary
modules, modules which haven't had commits in months, etc.  They also do not use
mailing lists, the use the SourceForge web forums.  Anyone who is a fan of
mailing lists will really hate their use of webforums.

The other issue is that they have a company founded around Hypersonic and are
making all important decisions behind closed doors.  This does not bode well for
the success of an Open Source project.

I have raised all these issues (and more) to them in an constructive manner but
they do not seem to want outside help.  I really like Hypersonic but am very
doubtful about its future considering these facts.

That said I hope other ASF developers are able to convince them to change their
ways where I have failed.  I am sure more voices will help make these issues
more relevant.
