Versioned Java(TM) Packages in the JP Programming EnvironmentMichael L. Van De Vanter Abstract: As part of an investigation of scalable development techniques for systems written in the Java(TM) programming language, the Forest Project at Sun Microsystems Laboratories is building JP, an experimental programming environment. This talk will describe key technologies and directions in JP: reliable system building (replacing make), orthogonally persistent object storage using PJama, tool integration via Java interfaces, and versioned Java packages as a unifying concept. Biography: Michael L. Van De Vanter is a member of the Forest Project at Sun Microsystems Laboratories, which is investigating software development technologies and persistent object systems. He has previously worked in the industry and taught at California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo. He holds a B.S. in Mathematics from Stanford University, a M.S. in Computer Science from M.I.T., and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California Berkeley. His research interests include software development technology, the human factors of software development, and advanced program editing systems.
