Hi Daniel, Diamondback is not due until February, so there are several months in which rosjava can be migrated forward before a 'stable' release lands. My understanding is that the maintainers will try to migrate rosjava forward, but I do not wish to make promises on their behalf as they are external contributors. Judging from efforts with roscpp and roslisp, it should not be a significant effort to perform this rewrite (<1 week of effort). Josh cleaned up the Python libraries a bit when he did the roscpp generators, so there's a good starting point (i.e. use genmsg_cpp.py or genmsg_lisp.py, do *not* use genmsg_py.py as a starting point). Given that there is a pre-existing message generator to compare outputs against, it might be a task that you could take on. regards, Ken On Fri, Oct 22, 2010 at 11:48 PM, Daniel Hewlett wrote: > Hi Ken, > I know that rosjava is experimental, but it's worked quite well for us and > we have come to rely on it for a few things in our lab (since we have a good > amount of pre-existing Java code).
