commons-vfs current status?
Just a quick question as to the current state of commons-vfs.
I've been using the project for the last 6 months or so and haven't seen
very many commits or activity on JIRA. Is there intention for on going
support?

Hi Mario,
I come back on this thread, since the last post was already a while ago...
I'm very interested in using the next commons-vfs release ... since I've
seen a list of few very important bugs.
I would kindly ask you to let me know when the next release will become
available.
Best Regards,
Marius

IMHO major problem is the necessary environment. You may have one or two of the supported external virtual file systems, but as soon as you start to modify core classes, you have no clue about the effects for the other systems ... :-/

yanfs uses a BSD license. I think that's compatible. You can see the
project here: http://yanfs.dev.java.net

I think this would be great to have!
Is the YANFS licensing terms compatible with Apache?

I have an NFS implementation (using Sun's YANFS implementation) that I'm in
the process of testing. I also have GUI components (a file chooser, and a
basic file browser) in addition to a metadata API for reading image and MS
Office metadata. I'd be glad to donate any or all of these if there's any
interest.

Mark

I posted a patch a while back that fixed a problem we were having with
symbolic links within the FTP file system. I also got the m2 build
working. I don't mind helping out a bit and committing this stuff
myself. I just didn't want to step on anyone else's toes, since I've
never done any VFS development before. If you don't mind, I'll go
ahead and commit my stuff. I guess it could always be backed out if
deemed unworthy. :)

As long as no code work needs to be done I think support is still there.
Unhappily VFS lacks of developers and my time is limited too. Still, I
don't want to say VFS is dead. I still have hope that we manage to spend
more time again or finally other developers jump up too.
Ciao,
Mario
