That's fine, you can go host it on google-code under the ASL 2. That way we can use it as a source level or jar level dependency.

It would be nice to get commit access so we can participate in enhancing the support coverage.

Jboss.org might have some benefits as a forge but the .org team is very busy at the moment, so creating a new project would be a bit low in priority. Google code is quite nice and clean.

BTW before dropping the code, make sure you have the copyright rights (if you developed that for a company, you might have to ask them).

Thanks!

ASL 2.0 is fine with me.  I was thinking about hosting it somewhere
like Google Code since there's a few open-source projects that I've
seen which could benefit from it.  Let me know, I can create a project
and you can give it a spin.

Cool, that's already a nice start.
Let me see if I find something.

Would you be OK to contribute it under the ASL 2.0 license to us?

I haven't gone into supporting type variables, hence I don't perform
type capturing or inference yet, although I would be interested in
adding this.  For an example of what is currently implemented, the
following are from the tests:

Number <: Integer
Object <: Integer
List <: List<Integer>
Collection<Integer> <: List<Integer>
Collection<Integer> <: ArrayList<Integer>
List<Integer> !<: Set<Integer>
List<Number> !<: List<Integer>
List<?> <: List<Integer>
List<? extends Number> <: List<Number>
List<? extends Number> <: List<Integer>
List<? extends Number> !<: List<Object>
List<? super Number> <: List<Number>
List<? super Number> <: List<Object>
List<? super Number> !<: List<Integer>
List<Integer> <: IntegerArrayList

Let me know if you find any existing libraries since I use this in my other projects. If there's nothing out there then open-sourcing this
would stop people from having to reinvent the wheel.

If I can't find an other alternative that would surely be of help yes :)

Do you know how much of the subtype rules you have implemented?

The one that sounded non trivial to me were around detecting that generic
are supertypes of others:
- containment and equivalence
- capture conversion
- intersection types
- management of bounds
(using the language of the JSL)

I've written a small utility library that provides methods to work
with Types, specifically it contains such a method isAssignable(Type
supertype, Type type) that should satisfy your requirements.

I've been considering open-sourcing it so would be happy to do so if
you were interested?

Specifically a routine like
boolean isSuperType(Type super, Type, sub);
note Type, not Class<?>

Subtyping

I am looking for an ASL 2 / BSD implementation of the subtyping
resolution
algorithm in Java.

I am thinking Harmony might have one.

Anybody knows?
