Chair: Bill Honaker
Connect is excited to offer this SIG which will discuss issues and solutions concerning the increasingly Open nature of NonStop development. Join the Open NonStop SIG today!
The SIG will be focusing primarily on four areas:
- Open Source Development: The porting of applications and tools written for Unix and Posix systems to run inside the OSS environment. HP has devoted a significant amount of resource to porting a number of C, C++, and Perl utilities to OSS. In addition, most Java Open Source can be run directly without porting. The Open SIG will provide a forum for porting and archiving of Open Source Software, and for communications regarding availability and NonStop specific topics regarding Java Open Source
- Java: All aspects of Java development and interoperability will be covered.
- Open Systems Services (OSS): The Posix-compliant API and UNIX shell that sits atop the NonStop Operating System (formerly the NonStop Kernel). Java runs under OSS, as does most ported Open Source software.
- Eclipse: The Oper Source (and free) Eclipse Development Environment (found at eclipse.org) is a very feature rich GUI platform for software developers to develop Java applications. In addition, HP and other vendors have developed (or are in the process of developing) plug-ins to extend this development to C++, COBOL and other languages.
