[zeromq-dev] Jyre on jzmq-api

Hi all,

For the past year or two I've been working on jzmq-api in my spare time,
trying to mature it so it can eventually become a 1.0 library. The best way
I've found to do this is actually build things with it. To that end, I've
got some ideas for a new library that uses the ZRE protocol, so I decided
to refactor the existing Java port of Zyre, called Jyre, from jzmq to
jzmq-api. I noticed that there has continued to be a lot of development on
Zyre in C, which is very exciting. And Jyre currently only supports the
retired ZRE 1.0 protocol. So I also decided to update it to support 2.0 and
add some of the features from the C version.

So, a few questions for Java folks. Does anyone use the Jyre project
currently? If so, what is the best option for the implementation I'm
working on? Should I leave it in parallel to the existing, in the same
project? Should I create a new project for it? Should I split it into a
separate module within the existing Jyre project? I'm looking for the best
way to get this out there so people wanting to use Zyre on the JVM can have
a pure Java option.

No matter what, this will be a good thing for jzmq-api, as it will force us
(me at least) to polish jzmq-api up and get a new version out there. Note
that jzmq-api currently works with both jzmq and jeromq, so you can still
switch between libzmq and the pure Java implementation of ZeroMQ, which is
very nice.
