Hi everyone, There has been an effort few years back to start Java SIG but it didn't work out in the end (no idea why). I decided it's time to try again :-) I would like to start Java SIG for a lot of reasons. Some of them: * Packaging guidelines are in need of an update (badly) * Consistency in java packages is somewhat lacking * More eyes see more approach, I'd like for all java related commits to go through an alias so we can all watch out for changes that can break our stuff * Have a place where we can collect tips & tricks, solutions to common problems etc. Currently this information is scattered through people's wiki pages * Java needs collaboration more than most other areas, because problems cannot be safely discovered automatically when someone changes dependency. This can cause serious headaches (to me at least). Java SIG to the rescue! :-) * Other languages have their own SIGs and we don't! :-) Who am I? Owner/Co-maintainer of a bunch of Java packages (mostly maven plugins, apache-commons, junit, velocity, checkstyle, plexus libraries). Involved in recent update of maven to v2.2.1. Reply if you're interested with helping out and being able to see/influence where Java packaging in Fedora is going. I know there will be at least a few people joining in. I'll be starting Java SIG wiki page soon, plus I guess we can peruse java-devel mailing list for SIG discussions. -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotnicky@xxxxxxxxxx> Associate Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno PGP: 71A1677C Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com
