Some queries

[Jay Mahadeokar]

Hello all.

Tushar Sir mentioned about the jcompare project in the JUG Nagpur meet
on 30th Aug. Out of curiosity, i have explored the wiki. I have
following queries:

1. The project aims at comparing directories which is clearly stated.
Does it also aim at comparing files inside directories and features
provided here: http://www.guiffy.com/?

2. Under processing logic, it is said that, the algorithm will be
recursive (and hence time consuming) So, the task will be divided
among runnable threads that will be queued and results will be updated
in tree.
So, does it mean that for same comparison task, different threads will
be launched? (Which may take more time than single running recursive
thread not sure about that)
I guess this idea has come up so as to provide a more responsive
GUI.. So, is it not possible to for the processing thread to update
the GUI thread with data, periodically, as it goes on with its job?

3. Can I join the developer mailing list and contribute as a
developer?

Regards,
Jay Mahadeokar.

Hi Jay,

Welcome to JCompare project.  Please send a mail to jcompare-de...@googlegroups.com to join the dev list.  We will comtinue this development discussion on that list.  I will try to explain the idea in my mind in details on wiki and we will discuss many approaches.

I will give more insight in threaded approaches and ways to update the EDT from another threads as we do in our other commercial products in Java in company.

with regards
Tushar
