74 <p>Blitz contains source code from <a href="http://www.prevayler.org">Prevayler 1.02</a> and
75 <a href="http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/concurrent/intro.html">Doug
76 Lea's concurrency package</a>.
77 </p>
78
79 <p>The Prevayler source code is not quite original as it has been
80 modified to support several different Prevayler types, optional
81 FD.sync() calls, asynchronous checkpointing, buffering and
82 programmatical control of objectoutputstream::reset. With kind
83 permission from Klaus Wuestefeld this code is licensed under the
84 revised BSD license.
85 </p>
86
87 <p>Blitz also makes use of <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/teatrove/">Disney's
88 Trove 1.3.0</a> (note that the distribution in the source tree is
89 not the most up to date and was modified to compile correctly under JDK
90 1.4.x. Trove is licensed <a href="docs/disney_lic.txt">under
91 the following terms</a>
92 </p>
93
94 <p>Thanks to all these projects for making my life easier!</p>
95
96 <p>Blitz uses Berkeley DB Java Edition for persistence (<a href="docs/db_license.html">License</a>). Thanks to
97 everyone at <a href="http://www.sleepycat.com/">Sleepycat</a>.
98 The source code for Db Java Edition is available from <a href="http://www.sleepycat.com">SleepyCat.</a>

101 <p>Thanks to Nigel Warren and Phil Bishop for contributing a
102 great test suite in the form of the source code for all the examples in
103 their book, "<a href="http://www.djip.co.uk/jsipinfo/">JavaSpaces
104 in Practice</a>". Special thanks to Phil for doing the initial
105 testing with the examples which allowed me to concentrate on fixing the
106 bugs.</p>
107
108 <p>Integration with Inca X, the associated installer and the
109 ServiceUI support in Dashboard was almost entirely the work of the <a href="http://www.incax.com">Inca X team</a> - a big
110 thank you to them.</p>
111
112 <p>Lastly, thanks to Nimrod Megiddo and Dharmendra S. Modha at
