Newbie question: What's the difference/relationship between netty and
mina? They share many similarities, but mina seems stuck trying to get its
docs and examples updated from 1.0 to 2.0, while netty comes across as more
active and up to date. I'm new to both, and having a blast with mina, but
I'm wondering where the community energy is focused...
MINA was started by Trustin when ApacheDS needed an NIO framework back 7
years ago. When MINA 2.0 was almost done, he quit the project and
started NETTY at Jboss. The doco was left in the state he left it, and
we are focusing on the code.
Being a JBoss employee, working on Netty, it's pretty normal that there
is more activity around it.
Now, it's all about the community and the governance. You may like
better one or the other project, it's not a big deal. And you may also
prefer an open community that will survive if the company paying the
bill stops doing so...
Volunteers are always welcome !
