Subsequent to the XOE 1.0 release, Transvirtual ported it to run onanyJVM, but they never released that code (Transvirtual is no longer in business).Just out of curiousity, what's the status of that unreleased code? Has the copyright/IP rights for that code been released to the developers or is it in the hands of the creditors?
GPL'd according to the COPYING file in http://www.kaffe.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pocketlinux/XOE_1.0/src/xoe/COPYING?rev=1.1.1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
IP would be with, uh, don't know, I guess whoever owns it now, some creditors who lost money on Transvirtual I assume.
It did a pretty spiffy job of rendering a lot of difficult web pages, and it was reasonably fast too.Was it in generic Java 1.1 or were there native portions to speed things up?
They seem to have used html tidy to parse the document. I'd use JTidy in a HTML parser SPI, of course ;) I haven't browsed the other code.
cheers, dalibor topic
