Open Source issues for JBilling

Hello,

I am trying to build JBilling 3.0 from sourcecode an I have bigtime issues with that:
1) The GIT repository from sourceforge does not contain JBilling 3.0 code! (as far as I can see, the last commit was in may, JB 3.0 was realeased in July),
2) Sourcecode package that one can download from SF is missing files that are needed for compilation (for example com.sapienter.jbilling.server.util.api.validation.CreateValidationGroup and PayPal stuff)
3) Almost every documentation you can find on your web page depicts JB (at best) JB 2.2. For developers it is usually 1.0 (!!!)

You create an impression that JB is open source and GPL licensed. But at the end of the day it turns out that the sourcecode you provide is just useless.

Please update the source packages. I am also confused if JBilling mailing list is still active - it is not listed on SF and I have posted this e-mail on this list, without response. I also wonder if you guys look atthe issue tracker at all. I will post a new issue right after sending this comment.

I am really sorry, but all this JBilling project seems like it's open source only in the comparison chart, which was actually one of the few web pages updated after 3.0 release. It looks like you just give the OS as a "demo" version. I would gladly commit to the project even with my code commits, but this not looks like "fun" anymore....

Best regards,
Piotr Kaczynski

Open Source issues for JBilling

I regret to say that nothing changed in version 3.0.1.

Latest git version doesn't have any jsp files, groovy sources and several java files. Other version I have found on sourceforge was missing other java sources.
Files being common for two versions vary. I am not sure if any of them is going to be compatible with data model from data base (despite upgrade files).
None of ant's build.xml files allows to easily compile those incomplete parts of code, it must be modified before.

Is it possible to facilitate full, compilable sources?

Moved from SourceForge to GitHub

The source is now hosted in GitHub, so looking at the Source Forge repo will show very old code. Give it a try: https://github.com/emilc/jbilling
