I am considering building a
Java Source Code repository web site. My first post about this was here,
https://coderanch.com/t/391918/java/java/CPAN-Java, however I decided to create a topic in this forum to reach more people.
I decided to do this because as some people have mentioned before, there really isn't a central source for java packages, and some of the better ones, like
www.jars.com are housing commercial software, which will not be eligable on my web site.
I would accept only 100% pure open source java packages into the repository. All packages must be completely and 100% platform independent. All packages must also contain javadocs along with them in the Sun Standard API format.
I would like some help with this project, though I will take on the bulk of it's upkeep and maintenence. The majority of the help I will need is the initial site design and development and I need people that are willing to contribute packages, which will come in time I am sure.
Once the site is up and running, I will need testers to
test newly uploaded packages, try and break them, and rate them. That way we will be able to provide only the best to our visitors.
