Therefore, i propose we use the JacORB idl compiler instead of
Suns idlj. This would solve both aforementioned issues.
To use it, we would have to bundle it and get it uploaded to the
maven repos, and we would have to modify the idlj plugin to
support using this compiler. Neither should take a huge amount of
work. I would be happy to take care of the plugin modifications
required.
Note that the compiler is only used in the build process. It will
not be bundled with the finished product or anything like that. We
are not going to have any GPL-code in the geronimo repository by
using this compiler.
Any comments on this issue? Should i move on to integrating the
JacORB compiler with the idlj plugin?
I don't think that JacORB is properly licensed. Does anyone know
if it's a problem using LGPL jars?
The ideal solution is to implement and use our own. I wonder if we
could use OpenORB. Lars?
Um, I was under the impression that using GPL compilers was ok. Does
Apache httpd build using gcc?
If we can use the JacORB idlj compiler today, I say we do and
readdress this issue another day.
