<h2>Credits</h2>

<p>Blitz contains source code from <a href="http://www.prevayler.org">Prevayler 1.02</a> and
<a href="http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/concurrent/intro.html">Doug
Lea's concurrency package</a>.
</p>

<p>The Prevayler source code is not quite original as it has been
modified to support several different Prevayler types, optional
FD.sync() calls, asynchronous checkpointing, buffering and
programmatical control of objectoutputstream::reset. With kind
permission from Klaus Wuestefeld this code is licensed under the
revised BSD license.
</p>

<p>Blitz also makes use of <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/teatrove/">Disney's
Trove 1.3.0</a> (note that the distribution in the source tree is
not the most up to date and was modified to compile correctly under JDK
1.4.x. Trove is licensed <a href="docs/disney_lic.txt">under
the following terms</a>
</p>

<p>Thanks to all these projects for making my life easier!</p>

<p>Blitz uses Berkeley DB Java Edition for persistence (<a href="docs/db_license.html">License</a>). Thanks to
everyone at <a href="http://www.sleepycat.com/">Sleepycat</a>.
The source code for Db Java Edition is available from <a href="http://www.sleepycat.com">SleepyCat.</a>
</p>

<p>Thanks to Nigel Warren and Phil Bishop for contributing a
great test suite in the form of the source code for all the examples in
their book, "<a href="http://www.djip.co.uk/jsipinfo/">JavaSpaces
in Practice</a>". Special thanks to Phil for doing the initial
testing with the examples which allowed me to concentrate on fixing the
bugs.</p>

<p>Integration with Inca X, the associated installer and the
ServiceUI support in Dashboard was almost entirely the work of the <a href="http://www.incax.com">Inca X team</a> - a big
thank you to them.</p>

<p>Lastly, thanks to Nimrod Megiddo and Dharmendra S. Modha at
IBM Almaden for designing <a href="http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/megiddo03arc.html">ARC</a>
and publishing an article in <a href="http://www.usenix.org/publications/login/">;Login:
magazine</a> which set me thinking.....</p>
