[drmaa-wg] XgridDRMAA overview

[Ed Baskerville]

Thanks for the pointer!

I *was* planning on reusing the org.ggf.drmaa classes--no reason not to.

Reading that entry, it looks like I could mostly reuse the  
com.sun.grid.drmaa classes (put into a package named, for the time  
being, com.edbaskerville.xgrid_drmaa), and the JNI wrapper to the C  
binding, resulting in something like this:

(((Objective-C/Cocoa implementation) wrapped in C binding) wrapped in  
standard JNI)

versus the planned

((Objective-C/Cocoa implementation) wrapped in new JNI)

The latter is more compact; the former probably a much quicker route  
to a working system, probably with not much overhead. Sounds like the  
former is probably a better way to go; I'll look through the code to  
see for sure.

That said, are there any licensing issues with using modified Sun  
open source code? Google requires that I release my code under the  
Apache License--any reason why this would be a problem?
