Dear Mentors,
Since the last update I sent Google has released an updated version
of the Android SDK. Unfortunately for my GSoC project such release
came too late. On a more positive note, I will continue helping
Adriano with the porting efforts. We have begun testing the new SDK
with the Android trunk and can hopefully see Tuscany running on
Android soon.
The last tests performed as part of my GSoC project were to remove
all @Remotable annotations and to test calculator-android with a
componentType side file. Both of these initiatives failed because of
the fact the previous version of the Android SDK still choked when
encountering any code with annotations. As a new SDK was released I
stopped further testing. Since then I have updated the JIRA ticket I
created, with the reduced set of modules and changes that Adriano
made to SCA code. Additionally, I updated my project wiki to
summarize all of the work performed throughout the project.
I have now started testing the new SDK and currently am running into
problems with trying to include a core library from a desktop
virtual machine into an Android application, this being
"javax/xml/namespace/QName$1.class". I will continue these efforts
outside the scope of GSoC.
Lastly, I would like to thank the Tuscany community; I received help
from several committers throughout the project, and of course, from
my mentor Adriano. I thank you all for your patience and continued
support. Despite the fact that the project wasn't a complete success
I definitely learned a lot and was able to explore my interests. I
am now continuing my studies in Computer Science and look forward to
continue learning from and collaborating on this project.

Thanks for the update Oscar. Was great having you involved in Tuscany
this summer and good to hear you're thinking of sticking around.

Thanks Oscar, I think the Android port looks very promising, you guys
have done a fantastic job this summer and I hope you can continue to
work on it.
BTW the code is in a sandbox now, I think it would be great to move it
to trunk (not in the main daily build I guess, but still under a folder
in trunk) or maybe in a branch like branches/android or something like
that, as it'll make clear to all that the code is alive and that people
in the community can work on it.
Also you said "I definitely learned a lot and was able to explore my
interests", that sounds like a great success to me! :)
I'm really happy to hear that you're going to stick around too, it's
really good to have you on the project!
