[jira] [Commented] (FELIX-3511) Apache Felix EventAdmin 1.3.0 ->
Without oswego stuff
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3511?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13276564#comment-13276564 ]
Felix Meschberger commented on FELIX-3511:
------------------------------------------
> Perhaps it would be nice to use it in future 'official' versions ?
>From a technical POV there is IMHO no reason to switch. To the contrary, the current setup allows Event Admin to also be used on limited resources and embedded devices. Particularly embedded devices often times are running J2ME which is not compatible with Java 5 and does not provide Java 5 API.
As from a licensing POV, using this library is not a problem, except that we need to have proper attribution.
I would prefer to keep it in the sense of "don't change a running program" and to stay open for non-Java 5 environments.

> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FELIX-3511
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3511
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Event Admin
> Affects Versions: eventadmin-1.3.0
> Reporter: Matthias Donat
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: java, license, patch
>
> The Event Admin bundle uses content from Oswego
> (EDU.oswego.cs.dl.util.concurrent) that is functional also available in the
> standard java library (java.util.concurrent).
> I have made a version without the Oswego stuff based on the actual trunk (rev
> 1324766) using java.util.concurrent.
> Perhaps it would be nice to use it in future 'official' versions ?
> It would also eliminate the need to put the extra-license from Oswego discussed
> earlier (http://osdir.com/ml/dev-felix-apache/2010-02/msg00401.html)
> Contact me if you're interested,
