Hi I was looking around in the avalons community for a small footprint kernel. As fare as I understand Merlin targets a server infrastructure where resources and CPU power is not THE limiting factor. Maybe I am also wrong, but when I look through the dependencies I see quite heavy-wight components (xml-stuff, excalibur?)? Are there any results of runtime memory consumption for a basic, lets say "hello world" component?
I'm currently developing a homebrewed kernel which actually is in some parts similar to the avalon-framework, well not that nice and thought through. I just stepped over this avalon stuff and was surprised to find some ideas again in the framework and merlin. As I don't want to develop things which are already done I wonder if merlin could be/is a kernel for small devices where I target J2ME(CDC) devices like an iPAQ? My homebrewed kernel works currently on such devices (well still with jre1.3) but my goal is to move it to j2me. As merlin is already that enhanced, my question is if it is of interest to have such a kernel for small devices? I looked at picocontainer and nanocontainer but in small devices I would still need some meta information about the components as this components are part of deployment and should be advertisable to other small devices. To find such components in its environment the meta information would be advertised like in a P2P (JXTA/JXME) infrastructure. What are your ideas about such a small footprint container or do you have some other links?
