Summer of Code 2005
Google is sponsoring the Summer of Code, and the Codehaus is one of the participating organizations. This page lists all the subjects currently proposed by the Codehaus.
Interest, even by a qualified student, does not mean that any of those project will automatically go ahead. Depending on the number of projects; the number of people able to mentor and the timing we will propably have to make a smaller selection.
Students interested will be asked to devise (together with the mentor if more information is needed) a list of deliverables, some very quantifiable results for the Codehaus community, a detailed description / design document, an approach, an approximate schedule and something of a background text. Or in other words - to sell themselves on this Wiki - and link in their proposals with the projects.
The deadline is June 14th - but you should take into account that it will take several days, (expect 5 to 7 days) of refinement with the mentors/communties to create a proper proposal, with well defined deliverables, which can be sponsored.
Codehaus Subjects for Summer of Code
Subject ID |
cargo-container |
|---|---|
Title |
Implement support for the JBoss/JOnAs/Geronimo/WebSphere container in Cargo |
Codehaus Project |
|
Keywords |
Java, J2EE, Container, JBoss, JOnAS, Geronimo, WebSphere |
Description |
Cargo is a thin wrapper around existing J2EE containers. It provides different APIs to easily manipulate containers (start, stop, configure). The goal is to add support for JBoss/JOnAS/Geronimo/Websphere. |

xfire |
|---|---|
Title |
WS-Security and XFire integration |
Codehaus Project |
|
Keywords |
Java, SOAP, WS-ReliableMessaging |
Description |
XFire is a fast stream based SOAP stack. WS-Security is a specification to allow portions of SOAP messages to be encrypted. This project would involve adding support for WS-Security to XFire via Apache's WSS4J library. The challenge would be integrating the two in a way that performs well and is friendly to the end developer. A demonstration of interopability with another SOAP stack would be required as an end goal. |

Title |
WS-ReliableMessaging implementation |
Codehaus Project |
|
Keywords |
Java, SOAP, WS-ReliableMessaging |
Description |
XFire is a fast stream based SOAP stack. Reliable Messaging provides a reliable communication layer over unreliable channels (such as UDP). With the adoption of Reliable in MS's Indigo, this spec is hard to ignore any longer. This would be a fun, challenging, yet approachable project for someone who really wants to get their hands dirty with SOAP. |

faqbot |
|---|---|
Title |
Implement a FAQ Bot using Alice |
Codehaus Project |
This is a new project |
Keywords |
FAQ, Bot, Alice |
Description |
Use Alice's program D (see http://alicebot.org) to implement a FAQ Bot. This bot will be able to answer FAQs (on the web site, on mailing list and/or on IRC). See http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/vmassol/archives/think_tank.html#000670_faq_botsfor more information. Additional idea: integrate it with XWiki to edit the Bot's AIML files and to add special macros to some pages so that the Bot's grammar can be enriched using a wiki. |

AgilePlanner |
|---|---|
Title |
Implement advanced SCRUM reports for AgilePlanner |
Codehaus Project |
AgilePlanner |
Keywords |
SCRUM, Agile, JotScript, Wiki, SVG, JavaScript |
Description |
AgilePlanner has basic data management bits already, but needs additional reports, charts and graphs. Mixing some SVG with JavaScript should be able to produce project intelligence |

ContinuumIDE |
|---|---|
Title |
Continuum IDE integration |
Codehaus Project |
Mevenide |
Keywords |
Build Management, Continuous integration, GUI, IDE, Plugin |
Description |
Continuum is a continous integration server supporting a wide range of project build methods, ranging from in-house shell scripts to Maven 2 enabled builds. This project will aim to provide IDE plugin(s) tightly integrated with Mevenide to remotely control the server from the IDE, vizualize build results, and link eventual build failures to relevant constituents. |
Possible Mentors |

Subject ID |
Mevenide |
|---|---|
Title |
Implement an IDE plugin to allow visualization and edition of Maven 2 Modules dependencies |
Codehaus Project |
Mevenide |
Keywords |
Maven, Build management, GUI, IDE, Plugin |
Description |
Componentizing a project helps separating concerns and allows easier maintenance. However when the project reaches critical complexity, it's become harder to have a high level view of the differents constituents and a good comprehension of their interactions. While Maven allows integrating all parts in an easy way, there's yet no way to graphically browse the project's components relations. This project will aim to provide an IDE plugin to allow vizualization and on the fly edition of Maven 2 modules dependencies. |

jmock-refactoring-support |
|---|---|
Title |
Refactoring support for jMock in Eclipse |
Codehaus Project |
jMock |
Keywords |
jMock, mock objects, test driven development, refactoring, Eclipse, IDE |
Description |
JMock uses strings to identify methods by name in expectations. This means that automatic refactoring tools in IDEs like Eclipse cannot rename methods in expectations. However, type information can be inferred from the code of test to determine the type of a mock object and therefore to determine how to apply method renames to expectations. This project will extend or, ideally, plug into the refactoring support of the Eclipse IDE to apply "rename method" refactorings to jMock expectations. |

Groovy-SOAP-API |
|---|---|
Title |
Provide a simple API to consume SOAP Web services |
Codehaus Project |
Groovy |
Keywords |
Groovy, API, SOAP, WSDL |
Description |
Groovy already supports XML-RPC services through an additional module. It is possible both to consume and to expose new services very easily. The idea of this project would be to propose and implement a similar small and light API to at least consume Web Services, and potentially to expose services as well with POGOs (Plain Old Groovy Objects). |

Groovy-Groovydoc-tool |
|---|---|
Title |
Implement a Javadoc-like tool |
Codehaus Project |
Groovy |
Keywords |
Groovy, JavaDoc, command-line tool |
Description |
Java's got a tool called javadoc. Javadoc is a tool for generating API documentation in HTML format from particular tags in comments in source code. The aim of this project is to create a "groovydoc" tool which will parse both parse Java source code and Groovy source code and create the same documentation that javadoc produces. |

Groovy-On-Rails |
|---|---|
Title |
Simple and light MVC and persitence framework |
Codehaus Project |
Groovy |
Keywords |
Groovy, Web, MVC, Persistence |
Description |
Groovy already supports Groovylets (groovy servlets) and has also some easy SQL utility classes, but we could build upon these features and create a light MVC framework with a simple persistence framework to help develop little webapps rapidly. |

JMX/Management Portlets |
|---|---|
Title |
JMX/Management portal |
Codehaus Project |
Geronimo, ActiveMQ, ServiceMix, many others |
Keywords |
JMX, Portal, Portlet, Management |
Description |
Many applications, including now Java 5, includes JMX support. There are some JMX tools around, such as jconsole that comes with Java 5 which is a Swing tool. What would be very useful would be a collection of JMX portlets which could be used to create a JMX management portal for services. Different services/MBeans could possibly provide their own custom portlet - but a collection of standard portlets should be available - to manage itself, its own JVM and other MBeabs. |

Hello,
I have my own idea for a project in J2ME - a sort of a game engine.
Would you be interested in mentoring such a project?
If so, I'll provide some background text, a detailed explanation, etc...

Hi,
Several people have expressed interest in the faqbot project. However you can be several sending a detailed proposal to Google so feel free to participate. I think we can also have 2 people doing a faqbot project implementation in parallel.
my email is vmassol AT codehaus.org

Hi,
Jeremi Joslin has already expressed great interest for this project. That said, I guess you could still submit a proposal to Google. Maybe the topic is large enough to have 2 competing projects in this area?

Excellent! But I can't find your email address. Please join the jmock-dev mailing list and send an email to the list. Both Steve Freeman and myself are willing to co-mentor this project and the easiest way for us all to keep in sync is through the list.
Cheers,
Nat.

Hi,
I am very interested in the realtime-webeditor project, but as a standalone java application, instead of as a javascript/dhtml website-embedded editor. Would this be acceptable at all?

Hi,
I'm interested in integrating Contimuum and Eclipse.
Should I send a letter to Continuum Developer List or do something else ?
Thanks

Hi.
I'm interested in the realitme-webeditor project. I know it's quite late (day before the deadline) and that there are already ~2 other people interested, but I'd like to know if there's still chance to accept me.
You can also contact me on my alternative e-mail matej.knopp at google dot com.
Thank you.
