Given the fact that Oracle will (in near future) phase out the public kenai.com service (http://bit.ly/b4csxI) we should, probably, look for a project hosting service with longer life span.
The two alternatives I can name from top my head would be:


The good thing is that they have support for Mercurial. I am not sure about migrating JIRA issues but at least *Google Code* has a public data api so it shouldn't be too hard to pour issues dumped from *kenai.com* JIRA into it.

Your thoughts, please....

I'd consider BitBucket. It's a Mercurial based forge, has wiki and issue tracker, plus the ability for others to easily create branches and pull requests, which IIRC Google Code doesn't have.

BitBucket is a good host. Also Codehaus is a good host with a full Atlassian stack of software. The downside is their long acceptace times for new projects though.

Wikipedia have a nice overview:

Hi,

I'm unable to look at your new BTrace project on JavaForge.net I think you need to go to your project's Admin page to open up the permissions so others can look at the project -- unless of course it's private.

Ok. It's open to public without approval now

I am getting the following:

User 'anonymous' has no permission to access project with id=3189

Once I log in to JavaForge I get:

User 'Joachim Haagen Skeie' has no permission to access project with id=3189

It seems that is harder to setup than I thought Smile It should work now - anonymous users have the default read-only access.

I cannot open the link obove, but http://www.javaforge.com/project/btrace works OK.

However, I now also have EDIT privileges to the WIKI. (I added my initials JHS to the front page). I am also unable to find any source code, but that might be intentional At the moment Smile

I've setup a placeholder for BTrace project on JavaForge
It is the closest match to the functionality provided by kenai.com I was able to find. And it adds some nice extras to it (like a continuous build server).
Plz, try the new location out and let me know your opinion.

According to Oracle, java.net might be the best option ?

Got this email this morning:

Gentlepeople,

In an effort to get information out to the Kenai community quickly, while trying to manage the integration of our two companies, I think we did a poor job at communicating our plans for Kenai.com to you. I would like to remedy that now. Our strategy is simple. We don't believe it makes sense to continue investing in multiple hosted development sites that are basically doing the same thing. Our plan is to shut down kenai.com and focus our efforts on java.net as the hosted development community. We are in the process of migrating java.net to the kenai technology. This means that any project currently hosted on kenai.com will be able to continue as you are on java.net. We are still working out the technical details, but the goal is to make this migration as seamless as possible for the current kenai.com projects. So in the meantime I suggest that you stay put on kenai.com and let us work through the details and get back to you later this month.

Thanks for your feedback and patience.

I love this project as you all know... I'd either rather see it stay on Kenai technology over at Java.net, or move to GitHub. I have to say that the JavaForge page is very confusing. I couldn't locate the link for the source after a minute of glancing. Ouch! I am totally enjoying the experience over at GitHub for the 30 or so projects that I work on there... The have one of the best UIs of any developer-centric web app.
