[jira] [Created] (FELIX-3511) Apache Felix EventAdmin 1.3.0 ->
Without oswego stuff
Matthias Donat created FELIX-3511:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Apache Felix EventAdmin 1.3.0 -> Without oswego stuff
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
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,
M.Donat

-----------------------------------------
Yes, I agree as well - what we could do is trim down the included oswego classes as we don't need all of them.

-----------------------------------------
+1 for keeping the code as is, if you run Java 5+ and really cannot spare the extra classes that are loaded as part of this bundle, you could still roll your own bundle, but in general I agree with Felix that it's not broken currently and that applying the patch would only make the bundle useable for less people/environments.

>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.
