Fantastic work, thanks for your contributions!
After all this testing and improvement we could consider moving J2G
from sandbox to a more stable location where it can be properly
released and maintained. If our dev community expresses interest in
doing that then maybe the devtools subproject is a good place for
it. Asking for feedback on the users list would help us know how to
proceed as well.
Thinking from the user's perspective, I wonder if J2G can be
integrated with our eclipse plugin somehow? For example could our
eclipse plugin wrapper the J2G functionality in a wizard, button, or
context menu item? Perhaps something simple for starters, just some
way launch the tool from inside the IDE. Since J2G is itself
implemented as an eclipse plugin it would seem strange to provide no
UI controls for it or integration point with our current eclipse plugin.
Best wishes,
Paul

Some of you may have noticed the recent activity on the devlist in
regards to the J2G conversion tool. Erik Craig and I have been
making significant improvements in the functionality and usability
of this tool. Some of these changes include adding new
documentation on the wiki, fixing scripts to provide more
functionality, ensuring unix functionality, and general debugging
for both the code and the unit tests. Now that these changes have
been made, it might be appropriate to have another look at the tool
and see if it is ready to be moved out of sandbox and into
devtools. Any and all comments are welcome.
