Bryan Duxbury commented on THRIFT-880:
--------------------------------------
I think we want to wipe all of the @author tags out.
There's no build.xml or tests in lib/javame. We can punt on tests for now
(grudgingly...) but I think that we should at least provide a way to build the
library into a jar. (I am assuming that JavaME still uses jars.)
Some of the classes in the library, for instance TFramedTransport, seem to be
completely unchanged from the regular Java library. It feels wrong somehow to
have two copies of the same file in our source tree. Could we possibly find a
way to extract a common library of core classes that we can reuse? Might be
more trouble than it's worth, but I'd hate to have to keep track of the same
bugfixes in two locations.

> Key: THRIFT-880
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-880
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Compiler (General)
> Affects Versions: 0.4
> Reporter: Dave Engberg
> Fix For: 0.5
>
> Attachments: javame-v1.patch
>
>
> There are a number of mobile devices that use use some variant of the "Java
> Micro Edition" (Java ME) platform for their development environments.
> The JavaME platform is barely a second cousin of modern Java SE/EE, and most
> modern Java libraries like Thrift aren't even conceivable on those devices
> due to lack of things like generics, modern collection classes, etc.
> This basically means that some simple "vanilla" Java code can be used in both
> places, but it's better to consider JavaME as just a separate platform with a
> historic overlap rather than a "subset."
> We've been using a JavaME profile of Thrift (CLDC 1.1) for a while on some of
> our own platforms, and are now making it available to some partners. I've
> cleaned up our code generator and JavaME libraries in this patch for
> (hopeful) inclusion into a Thrift release in the future.
> This includes:
> t_javame_generator.cc based on the 0.4.0 Java generator with heavy
> modifications for the generated code to comply with the ME profile.
> lib/javame - a runtime library for ME devices that is based on a fairly old
> version of the Java libraries (pre-incubation)
> This patch does not modify the main Java generator at all ... this is a
> parallel project and runtime library.
> These changes are too large to reasonably fold into the "Java" generator as
> an option (i.e. that would be a bit like trying to merge the C# and Java
> generators into one.) I realize that results in a bit of a fork.
