History of the JaxMe JavaSource framework |
|
The framework was originally part of the JaxMe generator, a Java/XML binding tool. A first version was developed for JaxMe 1. The framework was much improved for JaxMe 2. Roughly in January 2003 it began to live a live of its own, because I was picking it up for other projects. So it made sense to create a separate distribution and make JaxMe 2 base on it.
In a way, the JavaSource framework is still a part of JaxMe, because it uses the same SourceForge project, called jaxme. The sources are located in the same CVS server and the distribution comes from the same file server. The administrators and developers are typically the same. We'll see, what the future brings.
JaxMe and the JaxMe JavaSource framework come to you under the terms of the BSD License. In short this means you can do almost anything with it: Use it, modify it, extend it, sell it (hej, sometimes I really wish I had a little piece of a sales man inside me ...), use it in commercial products or projects, whatever you want. It's an open source license.
The license requires, that you drop a note on the origin of JaxMe and the author, but IMO this is good for nothing, so you may safely forget it. However, I reserve the right to change the license of any future version to another open source license. (org.apache.jaxme, we all have dreams ... :-)
