Good question. I assume you mean, how will the work be ported to work with new releases of the Java version. The answer is that I don't know :) I've thought about a log of changes and an engine to automatically implement these changes, but that would probably be fragile and cumbersome to make new developments against. If anyone has any ideas, I love to hear them. > > From: Eugene [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > What you can say about performance? > To answer the question, I can only say that the Java code is compiled into MSIL, which is then JIT-compiled at runtime into native code, which is the same process that everything .NET does. From that, I would think it very unlikely that there be a dramatic decrease in performance compared to one running on a JRE, and I would think it somewhat likely that it might run faster. No empirical evidence, just a SWAG based on the architectures. I'm thinking about putting the project on SourceForge to make it available. I don't know much about the open-source venue, though -- is this a good place to host it, or is there a better way? -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 2:49 AM To: Jason Pettys Subject: Re[2]: FOP on .NET What you can say about performance? -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 3:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: FOP on .NET > >I have successfully taken FOP source code and compiled it with Microsoft's >free VS.NET add-in, Visual J#, producing a managed .dll file that generates >.pdf files from an FO document. > >It took about a few hours of code tweaking, swapping out different SAX >libraries, etc., and I removed the SVG functionality, but the modified Java >source now compiles into MSIL. > >This has advantages over the COM solution proposed earlier in this >discussion list because it does not require a JRE on any other Java >components, and so distribution to a non-Java organization is a lot >simpler. > >If anyone thinks this is valuable and knows what I ought to do with it, let >me know. > >Jason Pettys > This definitely has value. Good job. Only trouble I can see is, how will it be maintained? _________________________________________________________________ Join the world's largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
