Hi gang, Like Aaron said, cornerstone has been moved to excalibur, so is not "dead". It isn't particularly active as a codebase either right now, but that's not a big issue (it's been doing what it's been doing for a long time, really).
IMHO, the main reason that Excalibur took responsibility for Cornerstone was that James has an active dependency on it. You may not know it, but all james developers have read-write access to the excalibur subversion repository. We've pretty much cleaned up the build process as well, so anyone with basic maven skills can roll a basic distro, no sweat. In other words, made it about as easy as possible for you guys :-D PaulH and PeterD are both on [EMAIL PROTECTED] (IIRC they're the ones that wrote the main parts of cornerstone way back), busy as always, but I'm sure we'll be able to answer most of your questions. All that said, it would be kinda cool to do a derby thing so don't let me stop you! :-D Cheers, - Leo On 22-12-2004 16:11, "J Aaron Farr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello all. > > There's some talk over on the James server list about Cornerstone: > > http://www.mail-archive.com/server-dev%40james.apache.org/msg03298.html > > Last I understood, Paul Hammant was working on refactoring the code.
