[VOTE] James as an official Apache project

All,

Now that we've had a chance to digest whats meant by a top level project, I'll subject you to my opinion, which I've held back so far.

Basically I'm in favour of proposing james as an apache top level project (tlp), I'm prepared to take the lead on our proposal, and here's why:

 James has a small yet mature community, we seldom seek recourse to the jakarta PMC, and equally seldom are we scrutinised by them. We are not the most active project, and I feel that this sometimes causes James to be disregarded. Likewise, apart from Avalon, we have few direct ties with other jakarta projects, and little in common apart from the language/platform and culture (but the culture is Apache)

The tlp issue is more about management than web-site and mail addresses, I don't believe that james.apache.org will bring many benefits, but I do think that normalising our managerial relationship with Jakarta by becoming a sibling rather than a child, and taking official control of all the issues we currently inherit and "interpret" from Jakarta would benefit James. The James PMC would be responsible to The Board.

I do believe that Jakarta is becoming too big to function as a single project, that community and culture become diluted as you descend the heirarchy and that one solution is for mature projects leave the nest. Of course other projects are free to make their own choices but as James consists primarily of the server which is an end-user product I feel that top level project status, emphasisng its purpose rather then its technology, would suit it well.

The proposals being discussed on reorg & community include the notion of federated projects, James, with the approval of the Jakarta PMC, could continue to be associated with Jakarta, I would like to think that we wouldn't be leaving Jakarta, just growing up. I also know that James would continue to rely on Jakarta for code, insight and cool thinking, but we don't need to be a Jakarta sub-project for that.

It would also give us the opportunity, as Serge mentioned, to better promote our sub-projects, theres Mailet, and mailets, and there are the beginings of full blown mailet applications.

So.. we've had time to examine the issues, lets vote.. 

Should we prepare a proposal for submission to the board, that James be elevated to a top level project?

   [ ] +1  I think it's a good idea 
   [ ] +0  I'll accept the majority decision, stop bothering me
   [ ] -0  I have reservations 
   [ ] -1, I don't think its a good idea

+1.  Let me know if you need any help, if the community thinks it's a 
good idea.

messing around with performance I think that mail tables should be indexed
on repository_name, as well as having (repository_name,message_name) as the

We use Javamail 1.3 instead of 1.2. It's got a LOT of bug fixes in the
Mime code and just seems to be more stable. I just changed the build.xml
file and everything just works.

So a thumbs up from me.

RE: JavaMail mime header parsing

Posted by "Peter M. Goldstein" <pe...@yahoo.com>.
Serge,

I'm not sure that's the relevant RFC.  The type name/parameter pair is
not addressed in RFC 2045, since it's a parameter specific to the
multipart/related Content-Type.

That said, RFC 2387 which defines the Multipart/Related type, seems to
indicate that it's actually the unquoted version which is correct.
Check out section 3.4 of this RFC.  Although it also seems to say that,
in general, parameters will be quoted.

JavaMail mime header parsing

Posted by Serge Sozonoff <se...@globalbeach.com>.
Hi All,

Sorry for this slightly off topic subject, hoping someone has a simple
answer.

My understanding of RFC2045 section 3.  MIME Header Fields leaves me to
beleive that both of the following representations are correct:

Content-Type: multipart/related;
boundary=mmsc-mgw-unique-boundary-1;type="application/smil";start="<89168876
9>"
Content-Type: multipart/related;
boundary=mmsc-mgw-unique-boundary-1;type=application/smil;start=<891688769>

Note that one has some double quotes and one does not.

However when I run the non-quoted version through JavaMail 1.2 and 1.3 I get
a ParseException or MessagingException depending on the operation I am
doing.
Is there a but in JavaMail or is my understanding of the RFC wrong?

Any thoughts on upgrading the JavaMail extension in James, I beleive we are
still using 1.2 (I have found no specific reason for suggesting this, but
there were some bug fixes and it might benefit those using JavaMail for
their mailets.

Thanks, Serge

Example code to see this in action

import javax.mail.internet.*;

class test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            String header = "multipart/related;
boundary=mmsc-mgw-unique-boundary-1;type=application/smil;start=<891688769>"
;
            ContentType cType = new ContentType(header);
            System.out.println(cType.toString());
        } catch(ParseException pe) {
            System.out.println("Parse error");
            pe.getMessage();
        }
    }
}

I suggest we now prepare a proposal for submission,
to which end I suggest that I commit a draft, mainly just headings, and we can work on that.

Danny,

No worries.  Thinking about it the other day, I figured that we'd get onto
this in December after we shipped v2.1.  It is nice of Stephen McConnell to
offer his assistance, having just participated in Avalon's successful
promotion.

I propose Serge to have the honor of being the initial PMC Chairman, and all
Committers as the initial PMC, unless they wish to demure.

Please note: next week is Thanksgiving in the USA.  It is most likely that a
number of us will probably be off-line for extended periods.

Patch the JVM recommendations in the xdocs, before we forget.

It runs with J2SDK 1.4.1_01 for linux and IBM JVM 1.3.1 for linux.  I can't
speak to any other release, so hopefully others will test and reply.

Phoenix 4.0.1

Posted by "Peter M. Goldstein" <pe...@yahoo.com>.
All,

I've just checked in the Phoenix 4.0.1 version.  It resolves the logging
bug (all log entries go to a single file) that was introduced in the
Phoenix 4.0 release version.

I've been building and running with this version successfully on a
Windows 2k box for over a week now.  Noel has tested it on Linux, and
found that it runs successfully there.

I have also changed the build.xml so that deprecation warnings are
turned off.  With this upgrade the number of Component related
deprecation warnings goes up to 200+.  IMHO that's just really annoying.
So I flipped them off until we do the upgrade to
Serviceable/ServiceManager in the next rev.

There is an observed issue with Red Hat Linux 6.2, Sun's 1.3.0 JVM, and
this revision of Phoenix.  This has been confirmed to be a JVM issue,
and can be resolved by switching to either IBM's 1.3.1 JVM or Sun's 1.4
JVM.  Other than this issue there are no known platform/JVM
incompatibilities.

Please let me know immediately if you encounter any issues, as I'd like
to make this upgrade as smooth as possible.  Please make sure that you
upgrade both your phoenix-bin directory and your build.xml.  Thanks.

--Peter

Well then!

+1

For what it's worth, I think James makes a good top-level project because
it's a server that's an application unto itself, like HTTPD. But I like
having all the java infrastructure and utility projects grouped together
under one roof. That way, you have a programmer's tool chest where all the
tools are easy to find, and the project can (ideally) show how the tools
work together and encourage development integration between them. I don't
think there are any other jakarta (or XML) sub-projects that would make as
good top-level projects as James.

Jason,

No not too late, I'll give this one a week, and possibly prod some of the
commiters who are innactive in James but active elsewhere in Jakarta.
A "yes" vote now, while not being a vote to actually submit a proposal, (we
should probably have a lazy vote on the proposal before we submit it)
represents the biggest shift in James PM since I-dont-know-when, its
adoption by java.apache or the inception of Jakarta probably.
We really don't want people to misunderstand our motives, or misconstrue our
opinions about Jakarta, and I would feel most confident about going ahead
with this if we can get a full turnout and no -1's

Even then there's no guarantee we'd be accepted.

Do you want to adopt the Cocoon project's proposal that the (initial) PMC be
