I think thats a good idea. But the client would have to be copied into the clients/2.0/java folder first before being worked on. Like I said, with minimal work, this client can be turned into the official Java client. I personally would prefer someone else to take the lead on the Java client, so maybe Volkan or someone else can spearhead this task (obviously I will and can assist). Whoever does this is free to write, restructure, and evolve the client as they wish, as long as they adhere to the client guidelines, which are a no brainer.... http://wiki.apache.org/devicemap/DataSpec2#Client > It might be good to explain that in the module's README for others who might be as lost as I was Yes, I will definitely spend time soon beefing up the README.
