[Bluej-discuss] Open Source

I agree!

I raised the issue of breakpoints disappering after each compile and nothing has been done about it. If BlueJ was OS I could have addressed this myself.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi!

I would like to second the wish of BlueJ being licensed under an
OSI-compatible license. 

With BlueJ 2.20, I have an issue making it unusable for me and my
stundents. I have already reported a bug report, but there does not
 seem
to be a lot of progress being made regarding the issue.

If BlueJ was Open Source, I could have looked up which change caused
that issue and tell you my result.

As most Linux distributions only distribute Open Source code, BlueJ
could flow into them and be installed and discovered by many potential
users by some simple clicks.

And lastly, if the BlueJ development stopped, a community could improve
it and make sure that it runs on modern platforms (although Java is a
good start ;)).


Martin
