hello world [boring background]
I'd like to inform all of you, that the company I work for (www.swac.de) has decided to release one of our key products under opensource license. This product uses our inhouse developed C++ port of Jakarta Avalon Framework, which however has never been released to public (though that in CVS and tar.gzips all code is marked as being released under APL). The release was not made public basicly because of my lazines and lack of time :-(. [coming back to avalon stuff] At this moment I'm needing some assistance (IANAL) regarding the project name, since before the first release I'd like to make all things clean. The port is named CCAvalon Framework, since it is developed in C++ and will be released under APL. I'm not sure whether this name is not conflicting with the license under which Avalon itself is published because I'm not quite able to tell whether CCAvalon can be considered as being "derived product", and whether I'm not using the "Avalon" part of the name CCAvalon to promote the product itself. I'd very appreciate if someone can guide me a bit... I'm not in any way aspiring (at least no yet) at making CCAvalon an official product of ASF (though I'd be very happy if it happens), but if there will be any interest, I'm willing to do the necessary. The sources will be available as soon as the name/license issues are resolved. I can tell that under hoods we are using log4cpp (log4cpp.sf.net) to do the logging part and QT Library (www.trolltech.com) (controversal but convenient decision) to do the strings, hashtables and these lowlevel things. Doxygen (www.doxygen.org) is used to extract Javadoc-like documentation and the release is equipped with full set of testcases written using cppunit (cppunit.sf.net). The code is compilable/working/tested under Linux and WIN32 and Debian/GNU Linux packages are being made regularily. I'm willing to answer any of the questions that can help to make the project public ASAP. sincerly, Martin Man [the emeritus commiter of the Apache Cocoon II project]
