[9:29] <hannesw> good morning
[9:30] <hannesw> any suggestions for changes or finetuning for helma 1.6.3?
[9:42] <zumbrunn> maybe it should be called 1.7 because it contains some changes that are not backwards compatible?
[9:42] <zumbrunn> (the case sensitivity of HopObject properties, plus I believe there was something else I can't think of right now)
[9:44] <zumbrunn> in Helma 1.6.3 the JSAdapter functionality is compiled into the rhino jar, right?
[9:44] <zumbrunn> while in helma-ng it is external to rhino
[9:47] <zumbrunn> I guess we should add the CDDL to the license directory
[9:49] <zumbrunn> what about this one: http://helma.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=639
[9:51] <zumbrunn> did Bernhard Fr?hlich ever submit his patch for switching to a current Jetty version?
[9:51] <zumbrunn> or is there a good reason for not making the switch anyway?
[9:52] <zumbrunn> I mean, is there a good reason for not making the switch even if we would have the patch
[10:43] <hannesw> chris: yes, JSAdapter is part of Helma 1.6. It's not in rhino.jar, it's in helma.jar
[10:43] <hannesw> I don't think we have to add the license explicitly, it should be in the source and that should be enought
[10:44] <hannesw> I'm not a lawyer, but that's my understanding of the CDDL
[10:44] <hannesw> bug 639 looks interesting, I have to look into that.
[10:44] <hannesw> I don't know about a patch for the jetty version.
[10:47] <hannesw> I think I'll also postpone the HopObject case sensitivity patch to Helma 1.7, then
[10:47] <hannesw> Another enhancement for Helma 1.7 would be tobi's jetty config file feature
[11:46] <zumbrunn> from the header in the JSAdapter source file: "When distributing Covered Code, include this CDDL Header Notice in each file and include the License file at glassfish/bootstrap/legal/CDDLv1.0.txt."
[11:46] <zumbrunn> so, I guess it would be appropriate to include the CDDL in our license dir
[12:29] <hannesw> ok
[15:01] <zumbrunn> another issue that maybe could be looked at for 1.6.3 is the diff code, which helma currently contains some gpl code
[15:01] <zumbrunn> http://dev.helma.org/trac/helma/browser/helma/helma/trunk/src/helma/util/Diff.java?rev=9335
[15:01] <zumbrunn> http://helma.org/pipermail/helma-dev/2007-July/003695.html
[15:07] <simono> quick question: can i map _children.accessname to a numeric db-field? should work, right?
[15:10] <simono> to answer myself: works fine if you dont misspell accesssname
[16:06] <decke> great hannes is working on 1.6.3 ... and fixed my freebsd related bugs
[16:09] <zumbrunn> yep :-)
[16:10] <zumbrunn> you never submitted patch for updating to jetty 7 yet, right?
[16:10] <zumbrunn> (I don't think that's something for helma 1.6.3 anyway)
[16:18] <decke> no i haven't submitted them yet
[16:19] <decke> and it seems i need a month of holiday to catch up with all my todo's
[19:44] <hannesw> chris: this java diff looks good: http://www.incava.org/projects/java/java-diff/
[19:45] <hannesw> it's lgpl
[19:46] <hannesw> but it'l break every app that uses it, so i'd say it's for helma 1.7 at the earliest
