How about a CVS Module?

[cwstanton]

Has anyone considered developing a CVS Module? Something like CVSWeb or ViewCVS, but as a module to drop into Nukes!

Please respond if there is any interest in such a project.

Also, I'm an able-bodied J2EE developer, but I'm not the best visionary, so if someone else were to direct this idea, I'd be happy to contribute time and code...

I definetly like the idea. Maybe I will do some research and see what kind of java code is out there that works with CVS. For starters eclipse.

I had the same thought. Eclipse has a library, and NetBeans has a library. The NetBeans library is actually more readily packaged/marketed for use in third party products.

Does the JBoss development team have a take on using third party libraries? Would this be better as a non-JBoss developed module?

I think you have to look at the particular license involved, some licenses are compatible and others are not. For instance I don't think you can take LGPL code and put it under an Apache license.

I noticed the Eclipse people inserted a notice file saying they had made a derivative work of some Ant modules and included the Ant license.

Maybe if you had a specific question you could post it to the license-discuss mailing list at opensource.org
