Per Oracle:

With Sun now a wholly owned subsidiary of Oracle, the acquisition is triggering a consolidation process. Part of this process is the phasing out of the public-facing domain used for the Project Kenai Beta site. This action is being undertaken to provide the best project hosting solution for all of our customers into one location. ...


What a pity -- Project Kenai has been wonderful. I've enjoyed its evolution and I've experimented with just about every feature it had available. We may see the Project Kenai infrastructure resurface someday -- maybe with a different name -- if and when this happens, I will be one of the first to adopt.

With that being said, the Campbell Prediction System (CPS) project must migrate to another open-source hosting site while the dust settles from the Sun/Oracle acquisition. I'm playing with SourceForge.net and Java.net right now, among a few other candidates.

Meanwhile, please watch and use the Emxsys.com website to access the CPS Project - it will redirect you to the new host once I make the decision and move the files.

I think I'm at risk of loosing the discussion forum history. Ouch! That hurts.

Developers should note that I will probably stay with Subversion due to the nice integration with NetBeans.

Project Kenai is dead. Long live Project Kenai!

Since it is mainly a Java project and uses some of the gems froms Sun's house e.g. Jogl and NB RCP I would like to see it go to java.net. But it's your project and I do already have sf.net account.

Cheers,

Tisham.

Hi Tisham,

Thanks for the feedback. The jury is still out on the new host. I'm still dabbling with the different options. Presently, I'm inclined to use SourceForge.net for the public interface and maybe Java.net for developers and SCM. If Java.net migrates to the Kenai infrastructure, then I'd like to be there when that happens.

I hope to resolve this soon so I can get "back to work" in the problem domain and instead of messing with the project administration. Neutral

Best regards,
-- Bruce

Hi Bruce,

please look at javaforge.com if it can be an alternative for you. There is SVN Git and Mercurial support there.

Hi Janos,

I'm checking it out. I must admit, I like the user interface. Tempting. Very clean.
