Hi all,
this will be one of the final messages sent to you from the QDox
mailinglist at Codehaus.
I hope you are all aware that Codehaus has decided to stop its activities.
The official closing date will be May 17th 2015.
We've decided to move the QDox project to Github, under the account of
Paul Hammant and continue our work from there. Here are other original
Codehaus projects stored, some of them depend on QDox. So this way the
family stays together.

Original Jira issues: http://paul-hammant.github.io/Old_Qdox_Issues/
For contact I suggest to use Github as well.
I'd like to end with some words from Joe Walnes, project founder of QDox,
who described very well what Codehaus has done for us and the Open Source
Community:
Codehaus was the birthplace of many Java open-source projects last decade.
Enterprise Java was becoming mainstream, but the open-source community saw
that it had much more potential than the tools provided by Sun.
Codehaus provides project hosting (source control, issue tracking,
websites, continuous builds, downloads, mailing lists, IRC, etc). This was
back before GitHub existed and the only other option was SourceForge
(which was terrible).
But above all, Codehaus provided community. The developers across projects
all hung out together, on mailing lists, IRC and the occasional global
meetup. Respect and friendship. It was there that many gripes and problems
were discussed and new projects were born.
If you've ever benefitted from Groovy, Jetty, Grails, Gradle, XDoclet,
XStream, jMock, EasyMock, QDox, Drools, Esper, Mule, PicoContainer,
Jackson, Janino, JBehave, Stomp (and hundreds others), this was thanks to
the Codehaus community.
Many of the projects and people have gone on to do great things. Companies
have been formed. New communities created. Many projects died, some
thrived. Codehaus is no longer the hotness it once was, but it provided
the foundation that many of us have benefitted greatly form, and it's no
doubt one of the giants that the Java open-source community is standing on
the shoulders of.
Codehaus is now shutting down: http://codehaus.org
Please join me in raising your glasses to the people and projects.
Codehaus, we salute you. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
