Jason Bell from RSSLibJ switches to Rome When reading Perhaps now is the time to lay RSSLibJ to rest I felt a bit sad for Jason to have to drop his open source project, but glad that he chose Rome to generate feeds. We started Rome a few month ago, initially to create a single java library to deal with syndication feeds for Sun products. Then we decided that this library could be useful to many people outside of Sun, and thought that it would better be maintained by a community of developers than by just Sun employees (following Bill Joy's old quote that the most clever people do not necessarily work for your company), and made it open source as a java.net project.
This was an excellent decision: we've had 5 non Sun developers joining us and developing new subprojects, the project is very successful, and is nearing a 0.5 release where we will probably move it to a beta status (beta as in "the APIs seem stable enough now").
Jason if you feel the itch to code some utilities for syndication, just join the fun! Else your suggestions of how to make Rome better suit your syndication needs are welcome.
