Apache Chemistry

[Florent Guillaume <fg@nuxeo.com>]

Hi all,

As I mentioned at the last conf call, we're in the process of setting  
up an Apache project named "Chemistry" to hold generic Java code  
around the CMIS specification. This code will have a high level API, a  
lower-level SPI and generic implementations of clients and servers for  
AtomPub and SOAP bindings, as well as sample backends serving data  
from an in-memory repository or one based on JCR, with more to be  
added later. We also expect that the unit tests will turn into some  
kind of unofficial TCK.

The project is currently being accepted (pending administration stuff)  
to the Apache Incubator, following the proposal at
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ChemistryProposal . The current  
codebase is in between migrations, an early version was committed to  
the Jackrabbit sandbox, the current version I'm working on is in a  
Mercurial repository at http://hg.nuxeo.org/sandbox/chemistry and soon  
it will be in a dedicated svn repository in Apache's incubator.

I'll be glad to talk about the code and API choices at the plugfest,  
or on this list if there is broader interest. A dedicated chemistry  
list will be set up as part of the incubator soon.

Regard,
Florent
