JSP File Manager / News: Recent posts

This project never really got finished, not enough resource time. All file releases have been removed. If you want the source fine, but be advised it is not considered production quality.

TODO - maybe someday work on an actual file release. Change build to Maven, get reports, so on, such that war is easy to build and we do not have build incompatibilities (file releases were problematic because they were for particular architecture and or particular JVM, etc).

Improved release with various changes, including a new setup utility that allows you to deploy the WAR, then browse to the context (index.jsp) and setup the app.properties file from a browser. Various other minor improvements as well (minor Junit tests added, Ant build improvements, checkstyle improvements, layout improvements, etc).

File release for servlet 2.4/JSP 2.0 containers, compiled with JDK 1.5 now available as a WAR. Grab the war, expand it, edit the "app.properties" file to set the root directory and restart the context/container.

I will compile with JDK 1.4 and test with other J2EE specs (2.3/1.2) for other containers soon.

Got more code cleanup done, got more ant tasks such as checkstyle in place. Fixed a few bugs. Next steps are junit tests and code coverage, almost ready there, and then all time can be devoted to cleanup/improvement of interface and a new file release.

Want it now, check out source, then "ant war" from the root directory - using JDK 1.5 with JAVA_HOME set and ANT_HOME set.

1. CVS and the app itself has been greatly cleaned up (still waiting on some sourceforge requests to completely delete a few things, but if you checkout and prune empty you have a the "clean" stuff) to reflect the Sun J2EE app standard directory layout design.

2. Minor code cleanup (still a lot to do in this area).

3. Ant build in place. Checkout the CVS head, run "ant war", using JDK 1.5 with JAVA_HOME properly set. Then deploy the war (tested on Tomcat 5.5.9, more tests on other platforms and with older JDKs in the future).... read more

Have a little more time and desire to work on this . . .

I removed the "released" versions today because they are simply not really ready for public consumption. The CVS repository has the latest files for anyone interested.

Need to really clean this up and the re-release.

TODO:
Cleanup code (rename, reorder packages, overall arch).
Cleanup libs.
Create build (ant).
Use log4J (remove all sys out)
Use PMD (cleanup all violations of all default rulesets)
Use Junit (create tests for all "Util"s)
Use EMMA (coverage of JUnit).
Look into PMIW or other outside libs for image handling.... read more

This project is basically on hold. The initial *beta* versions went well but due to time constraints we (the developers, all two of us ;) ) have not been able to continue the project in quite some time. We still hope to address many things and continue this project but for now it is stagnant.

TODO:
1. Package into project and setup Ant for build.
2. Remove all custom image handling code and employ PMIW or similar library instead.
3. Improve UI to show "folder" type view.
4. Find another "demo" site hosting possibility.

JSPFileManger 0.9.1 released. Contains new features such as download files, delete multiple selected files, create zip file and includes bug fiixes/refactoring.

JSPFileManager has released files and recruited a developer or two. The current project is functional but rough around the edges, futher updates and improvements are on the way.
