[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-92?page=all ]
Mario Ivankovits resolved VFS-92.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
I think this is totally out of scope of VFS.
The reasons are:
1) FUSE is GPL/LGPL which is a nono for ASF projects. In this case we have to
build a JNI bridge - so we really have to link against the FUSE libraries
2) many of VFS's filesystems are already available
(http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems) - so FUSE wont benefit
from our VFS
3) Performance will be poor - compared to the native implementations
I admit, such a project has a coolnesfactor, but I think its not very
practical, though, hey, you can start up a project on sourceforge :-)
Sorry!
Ciao,
Mario
