[sane-devel] JSane

[Klemens Dickbauer]

Hi David, Hi Andi and Chris!

After being off for quite a long time (sorry for not communicating!) I 
restarted my work on japi_sane again this week.
The classes I have are based on the work of Silvio Vogt and what I did is 
mainly some refactoring work (moving into the org.saneproject package 
structure, moving into a interface/implementation classes desgin, changes on 
the gui part...). It's still ongoing, but at least I can compile it again.

I just read all the messages on this list an realized that a few people are 
working on the same issue. Your approch, Andi, seems very promising to me 
using the TCP level to communicate, coding JNI is very hard for me 
unexperienced bloke. (-;
Anyway, having a direct Java interface to the sane libs seems also desireable 
to me. David, what do you think about the changes I suggest? I had no close 
look into your classes so far, but I'll do tomorrow. Are you planning 
something more on these?

I will include my few classes, though thei're not running yet. I get a 
segfault on every call, as I said before I am very unexperienced in system 
programming. Maybe someone can give me a hint on where to start.
