Pedigree?
ericjs opened this issue · 1 comments
This is a suggestion to add some documentation around the history of this library. I'm currently working on a project that uses v 2.0.0 of org.safehaus.jug. Is that an earlier version of this same library? Is this an improved version of that or is this a fork with some different motivation? There is a credits page mentioning some contributors but no mention of safehaus.
Also, the http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JugHome link doesn't work...
Yes, your deduction of the history of the library is correct. Jug moved to Safehaus when that project got kickstarted, as one component useful for their LDAP server. But when the Safehaus stagnated, Jug project itself moved on to Github. It is not as much a fork as just next major revision with same codebase.
Fasterxml site is dead and (will be) gone at this point, so I need to remove that link.
