Re: auto-formatting: no more jalopy

[Etienne Gagnon]

Hi Tom & Brian,

Jalopy seems to fill the needs, on the technical side.  We could take
the latest Free snapshot available before it becomes proprietary to
indent the code.

The only worry I have is that it is not obvious to me if all the 
licenses of the various parts of jalopy are compatible.

Have a look at:
http://jalopy.sourceforge.net/dependencies.html

This seems like a big legal mess, as some dependent modules are under 
the GNU GPL (without special exceptions, as far as I know), and others 
are under the Apache license.  We know that these two licenses are 
incompatible.

PS:  I have failed to make any meaningful progress on the code indenter 
this last Summer; my other projects SableCC & SableVM took most of my 
time (and I took real vacations for the first time in years).  I will 
continue workinf on this indenter, but I think it would be wise for 
Classpath to investigate Jalopy for the time being.
