JDBM 2.0

[Jan Kotek <op...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am using JDBM in my project and I decided to revive it. So I am
working on JDBM 2.0 which will have:
 * generics
 * view over BTree as SortedMap
 * secondary indexes
 * triggers on CRUD operations.
 * in future new store which will use GAE or Valdemord as backend
Most of 2.0 code is actually already written, now I am working on
samples and javadoc.

Would like to know what exactly happened to JDBM (jdbm.sourceforge.com).
It seems to be unmaintained for several years and there are dozens
forks (including yours).
Is Apache-DS still using it? Did you made big modifications since JDBM
1.0? Did you made bugfixes?

I have troubles contacting original authors. So I will probably just
start new JDBM2 project on Google code.

Regards,
Jan Kotek

Interesting !

It has stalled, mainly because the authors moved to other tasks, and 
also because the code base was considered as stable enough.

We have fixed a few issues in the current code, mainly because we needed 
some extensions (very few), but we now think that we need more. As the 
project has been forked here, we will most certainly try to review the 
full code and move for a 2.0 too.

May be you could consider injecting your modifications here at Apache ? 
We need this project to be alive and kicking, also having more exposure. 
Apache is probably the best way to get this exposure at this point.

Let's talk about that !

This sounds excellent. I am running out but would love to speak to you more
about your inquiries. Also we are very interested in your work since we
depend on JDBM heavily.  We as well were going to rewrite it with a JDBM 2
but we have just made some trivial modifications now to fix bugs and make it
better suitable for our needs.

Will come back at ya in a little bit. BTW my skype name is akarasulu if
you'd like to ping me there - while on the road i can chat/talk via skype if
you like.
