My 2 cents: I got into Jelly as a framework for building Swing GUIs. In this case, the Tag model works very well and the ability to implement the scripting is also extremely useful.
Unfortunately, the company I did it for laid me off and I have to start the whole framework from scratch if I want to publish it open source. However, I find Jelly to be rather more than configuration... the name Jelly really seems to fit for me. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Madoni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 1:12 PM To: 'Jakarta Commons Users List' Subject: RE: [Jelly] Executable XML vs. Rich Configuration Hello Paul. I can't speak for Hale, but I would like to respond to your comments since these are important issues to me. Regarding your comment on the idea that a change to "Executable XML" amounts to a subtitle change, I would argue that it isn't merely about a subtitle, but about positioning. This, of course, is a critical difference. Even though Jelly is OSS and all that, there is still a job of selling to do, both in order for Jelly to reach its potential, and so that the most developers possible can benefit from it, and perhaps contribute to its continued improvement. I know I've already said my piece about the name "Jelly", but if you'll indulge me again: the name is meaningless, even more so than most Apache project names, (and that's saying something). At least "Tomcat" might conjure images of something agile and street-savvy; "Betwixt" implies something that sits between something else (which hints at what it is); of course, names like "FileUpload" and "Logging" are precise and immediately communicate the purpose of the project... ...but "Jelly"? It might as well be called "Blah" or "Hmmm", (don't get any ideas). :) -----Original Message----- From: Paul Libbrecht [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 14, 2005 12:34 PM To: Jakarta Commons Users List Subject: Re: [Jelly] Executable XML vs. Rich Configuration This seems to be another voice in favour of even changing Jakarta Commons Jelly... I am really surprised and would make sure I understand it correctly. Changing "Executable XML" into "Rich Configuration" or "Running XML" is about changing a subtitle... can I just request clarification ? thanks paul Le 13 mai 05, � 18:44, Hale India a �crit : > In any case I would like to avoid "exotic name" which > could give a bad image.... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
