I can see the power in it, but where is this Java code running and how
does it fit into "IceCap"?\001 I didn't quite make that jump

Should a sourceforge project be created for stuff like this?
I don't have much experience with open-source repositories, or open-source development. But what kind of structure would encourage and facilitate contributions (other than lip service) from others to the project?
It seems that a number of open-source projects never reach their potential because only one programmer is contributing all the code. And how fair is that?
Wouldn't it be better to host source code, plus development, plus run-time environments under an IBM i server? To create some community unity?
I am interested in this from a completely different angle, as I have
found there is a missing piece for creating Java components related to
AS/400, namely routines hooking the logging frameworks like log4j into
the AS/400 infra structure, and that this is something that would
benefit most of us.
Get an error? Put an entry in the appropriate message queue, drop a
line in the job log, send a mail with the AS/400 program I cannot recall
right now the name of, etc. All configured outside the component
itself. It is a very powerful concept.
I did quite some experiments to see what worked best for us, and the
combination of a long term log file with non-debug information, and
debug messages printed to the console (wrapped suitable to fit within
132 characters) have been pretty effective.
Is this something that would interest others than me?
