[DRMAA-WG] Fwd: News on SAGA

[Peter Tröger]

FYI - DRMAA is well-known in India and China. Just wow ...

Is there any existing DRMAA Java implementation that does NOT rely on 
JNI ? From what I know, the answer is no.

Best regards,
Peter.

Hi again,

I Cc Peter Troeger of DRMAA fame, as he will be able to give a more
qualified answer about the state of the DRMAA Java implementations.

Cheers, Andre.
