Moving this to Krysalis, we will eventually post a summary on the Cocoon list later.

Nicola, we've tried to use the Transformer included in Wings, but: 1) We weren't able to compile it, due to some jar version mismatch
Hmmm... any clue about this, anyone?
Obviously, everything works on my machine... I don't have much experience with other environments.
2) We didt't like its use of fixed DOM paths
Hmmm... can be changed, nothing set in stone.
Of course not. Those DOM paths are only there to have a quick implementation for a simple chart.
3) We didn't understand its use of logging
In which way?
It's all still scratch, obviously. No decisions have been made yet on logging framework, logging strategy, and what else.
4) AFAIK the Transformer didn't use JFreeChart
CVS version doesn't, but Tom IIRC had already done a version with is on his computer.
I've got a JFreeChart Transformer lying around somewhere, but I don't think it's more functional than the JCharts version. Anyway, if you like to have a look at it, send me a mail.
As I've already said in the past on krysalis-dev, I don't care much which rendering engine (or even technique) we'll be using. JCharts and JFreeChart both seemed quite livable, and JCharts had an APL-style license (which, in my case, I might need some time).
In fact, the main thing that I do think is important, is the input format. There's a format in krysalis (in the "formats" dir), which tries to separate data, graph layout, and graph grouping. I'd love to see your comments on this.
Well, I used WinCVS to download it, and maybe I just didn't download the latest version. How could I download the latest stable release without using WinCVS ?
It's still a Work in Progress, that's why I asked you to join us.
If you are seriously interested in working on the code I could propose you for commit access and you could work with us on it.
The wings project (for me) is a bit in a catch22-situation right now: I'd love to have some serious feedback on it, but the project isn't set up yet to be easily transportable yet. And that's because I don't have a test porting environment nor enough eyeballs on it. Which is where you could jump in ;-)
No need to start yet another charting effort, we can work together :-)
I certainly look forward to that! tomK --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
