Hi, Curious about running Jess on Android I first read up and found the issues with JavaBeans on Android. Geez, yuck!
Wondered if there was already a legal alternative implementation of those beans maybe from Harmony, Classpath, or OpenJDK. GNU Classpath is GPL but gives a linking exception so a port of java.beans to a new namespace might work: https://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/license.html Harmony is Apache licensed so you can link it with commercial software as long as you give attribution: https://www.apache.org/foundation/license-faq.html#WhatDoesItMEAN And there is already a port here: https://code.google.com/p/openbeans/ OpenJDK is the most mainstream open implementation backed by Oracle among others. It has the classpath same GNU Classpath exception on linking: http://openjdk.java.net/faq/ OpenJDK seems like the best bet to me. Not sure how best to proceed but as a developer myself I would like to volunteer to: 1. Port OpenJDK's java.beans 2. Find as many test suites as possible utilizing java.beans to include here to test it. 3. Put it on github or something. 4. Possibly test out migrating Jess source code (I would need to get a license). 5. Test out Jess on it on a pc. 6. Test out Jess on it on android. Not sure whether other folks are interested in this or not but if so please reply so we can coordinate our efforts.
