While reviewing a preliminary version of the Jacob intro, it occurred to
me that we might want to rename some Jacob classes to make them more
approachable and intuitive for Java developers; the current terminology
having a slight functional language aftertaste.
So we came up with this possible mapping:
JavaClosure => JacobObject (base object of the framework)
Abstraction.self() => JacobRunnable.run() (core execution class/method)
Soup => JacobQueue (execution queue)
ML => ChannelListener
Reaction => Continuation (scheduled execution)
I'd be interested to know if you think these changes would help
understanding.

Hi,
The thunder is rolling, the earth shaking: the first installment of the
Jacob documentation (tutorial) is ready. You can read it here:
http://wiki.apache.org/ode/Jacob
Let me know if there's still something that doesn't make sense but
hopefully
most nitty-gritty details are covered.
Cheers,
Matt.
