Re: [ecf-dev] "AIM Provider for ECF" Proposal
|
Hi Ali,
ECF has an enhancement request for an AIM provider...it's here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=146646
You may wish to join that enh request.
So it's clear that we/ECF/community would like to have such an AIM
provider that is under EPL...the tricky issue here is that the existing
java-based implementations of the AIM protocol are often not under
licenses compatible with the EPL.
From only casual observation, it looks like the joscar project at
http://joust.kano.net/ has not been active recently (i.e. they seem to
have had last 0.9.3 release in 2003). But this is only casual
observation...if you know more or are in direct contact with the joscar
authors then please say so.
In any case...we/ECF/the community certainly want something like
this...so the project is clearly appealing for that reason...but some of
the licensing/practical aspects may create difficulties for you, if the
project is accepted. I would suggest doing some investigation of the
state of joscar and/or other existing efforts that you may wish to use
for your proposal to reduce some of the uncertainty about joscar (and/or
other libs).
Thanks,
Scott
