I released version 1.1.4 of Remote Tea ONC/RPC. It is available at Maven Central and as download from this site.

This version covers the issues referenced in the post 'Some issues' of gil, mainly. Thanks to gil for reporting and providing solutions for both issues!

I released Version 1.1.3 of Remote Tea ONC/RPC. It is available at Maven Central. The export section of the OSGi bundle information in the manifest of remotetea-oncrpc-*.jar contains all packages of the ONC/RPC runtime library, now.

Although the change applies to the manifest of the Java archive remotetea-oncrpc-*.jar deployed to Maven Central, only, the Java packages are uploaded to Sourceforge as well, in order to keep the versions synchronized.... read more

I released Version 1.1.2 of Remote Tea ONC/RPC. It is available at Maven Central. The manifest of remotetea-oncrpc-*.jar now contains OSGi bundle information.

As the change only applies to the manifest of the Java archive remotetea-oncrpc-*.jar deployed to Maven Central, no Java packages will be uploaded to Sourceforge.

Thanks to Daniel Pocock, who encouraged this change and provided the necessary patch!

This is a minor maintenance release covering the changes as described in my previous post
Lookout to upcoming release 1.1.1.

Additionally I added the module information providing information on the project, the license and the changes, which are incorporated in the distribution files published at Sourceforge and Maven central.... read more

I converted the project into a Maven project. It has become a multi-module project, containing the modules oncrpc, jrpcgen, jportmap and maven-plugin.

The conversion mainly intends on seperating the project into its modules and on deploying it to Maven central.

The new module maven-plugin provides a Maven plugin for generating Java sources out of an x-file within the Maven life cycle phase generate-sources. The plugin internally runs jrpcgen. Therefore it behaves as running jrpcgen explicitly.... read more

This is a minor feature/maintenance release. It contains some small feature enhancements (nullproc() method, custom authentication schemes, additional CLI options for jrpcgen) and bug fixes (error reporting on authentication errors such as 'bad credentials' and 'bad verifier' and source generation by jrpcgen).

Enjoy!

Since a few days, RemoteTea has a new admin, and with that a staff of developers that are actively working with and on RemoteTea.

Please allow us a few days to get into our seats, we targeting July 2014 for our first round of updates to the code base.

Some small/minor updates and fixes. Enjoy.

This is a maintenance release fixing a problem in the code generated by jrpcgen and fixing and tweaking the Ant build file.

RemoteTea 1.0.4 contains several patches that have been sent in over the time since the 1.0.3 release. For instance, a bug concerning buffer underflows has been corrected. Some small new features are now included, such as PROGRAM-less .x files, support for generating Java Beans, et cetera.

Enjoy!

The RemoteTea package is a fully fledged Java implementation for both clients and servers of Sun's ONC/RPC protocol. It supports the Java2/1.1 platforms, is written completely in Java and thus does not need to make use of external binary libraries.
