8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• Spent some time with Brian on site this morning working out the details of what our server needs
• Looking at ways to deal with interacting with the shell as a way of dealing with the server. Developers write code as text files that are compiled using whatever tools we integrate. Files are saved as files with some kind of namespacing. The key to all this is to have some kind of workable interface to the OS that is essentially a terminal window. From there we load commands, parse results, use command-line debuggers, etc.
• Found a java telnet server that handles all the issues of sending commands to the OS and getting responses (and errors) back. It’s built around the same Runtime.getRuntime.exec() command that we are using in MavenAssist, just a lot more complete. It’s here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pwts/. In addition to building a remote object around it, we should refit the version in MavinAssist.
• Talked to Anne about Masha’s data woes. Promised to take a look at it tomorrow
