What about Java.net and Project Kenai? Java.net is an important part of the community, and Oracle will continue to invest in it—as well as look for new and better ways to support its membership. Project Kenai, however, will be discontinued for public use. Oracle will continue to use it internally and look for ways that our customers can take advantage of it. The timeline for users to migrate their data and projects off of Kenai will be posted at kenai.com. Please see the FAQ there for more details when available. |
Oracle has finalized the Sun transaction and the deal has closed.

I used to use sourceforge years ago, but personally don't like how it works these days I've not hosted anything on google-code myself - although they now support mercurial as well as svn now. There's a few other threads going on at the moment, some projects have already moved to git-hub, i'm looking at bitbucket - at least for the repos which is the main thing |

Google code has nice software but are license facists. (If they don't personally like the license they wont let you use it. The list of approved license is a tiny, tiny subset of those approved by OSI.) I haven't found any other site so far as good a google code or kenai. Kenai was going to be my answer to getting away from google. java.net royally sucks software-wise and always has. |

Can't we just move this project to java.net? Otherwise, I'd suggest looking at Google, only because of its potential long-term stability. I've never worked on a sourceforge project, I've just downloaded sources from there, so I can't comment on how well it works. Rob |

sourceforge pros: you can install trac, hosts your website, you can have different source revision systems, forum and mailing list works good. you can post news. you can get detailed statistics with piwik. you can easily upload new file releases or screenshots. sourceforge cons: this fact and sometimes very slow svn commits git: looks great but maybe the tooling/IDE support for git is not that great. google cons: the google group has a lot of spam + ugly UI

Hi, It depends on what you need. I moved all my projects from kenai to google code. I just need a repository a wiki and issue tracker and a simple file upload for releases and thats all there. I use Subversion and Mercurial and both work great and fast. It has only limited licenses to select from but I think we do not need 1000 different licenses and the most used are available. For me it is ok and I chose it because it is well structured and will not be discontinued in the next month It took me only a few hours to migrate everyting (I did not migrate the respository history and mailing lists) java.net sucks because of its confusing UI and its bad performance. And who knows what oracle will do with it. I believe they will integrate it into the oracle developers network one day. sourceforge provides a lot options to choose from. But I dislike the sourcforge UI it is really hard to navigate and has 1000 confusing options. Your users will need weeks to find what they are looking for Oh and the repositories hosted there are sometimes really slow. Just my humble opinion. Have fun, - Bernd |

I would suggest looking at the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open_source_software_hosting_facilities I currently use sourceforge because it is the most popular of the hosting sites that supports Git. The tools are pretty good and the source control repository performs well. -Jim |
