Re: [technology-pmc] Info on JAI

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

That is .. unexpected (that they are doing anything at all). So an oracle database release that includes JAI? Would that be a public release of JAI we can download, ...

Looking into this shows that it is indeed a thing - part of "Oracle Multimedia" https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/IMURG/ch_intr.htm#IMURG1000

Makes me wonder if they would be interested in joining us in maintaining the functionality they use?

Technically work on Raster Processing Engine as am API can proceed and still add value. With one implementation being a wrapper around JAI if it is available.

I think an online chat, or meet up at foss4gna, would be appropriate to explore options.

All,

It looks like JAI is not coming this year.

Oracle intends to wait until January 2019 before they can proceed with open sourcing JAI.  There will be a planned Oracle database release that includes additional JAI security fixes that Oracle legal/development require before the JAI kit is open sourced.

Any thoughts on how to go about from here?
Can we wait (with the risk of JAI not coming to Eclipse at all) for that period?
Should we start reverse engineering towards RPE?
Other?

Kind regards,
