Before you ask what retepTools are, they are my personal suite of utilities.
 | 
						|
About 90% of them are JDBC related (either they use JDBC, or I use them in
 | 
						|
developing the JDBC driver).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Now, because of various reasons I won't go into now, in January 2001 I decided
 | 
						|
to release the entire lot to the public. I could have used something like
 | 
						|
SourceForge, but as they are mainly JDBC related I thought here is the best
 | 
						|
place.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Now all (bar retepPDF, see end-note) will over the next few months be going
 | 
						|
into the /contrib/retep directory. They range from simple XML Inport/Export
 | 
						|
classes to entire sub-systems that can be plugged into applications.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All this lot were never released, so I'm placing them under PostgreSQL's
 | 
						|
licence.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Please refer to Implementation for details of what package does what.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It all requires Java2SE (JDK1.2) as a minimum. I do have some plans for some
 | 
						|
EJB tools later, so those will need Java2EE, but not yet ;-)

retepPDF: This is not included for two reasons:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1: It's big and not really related in any way to PostgreSQL
 | 
						|
2: More importantly, I (may be foolishly) released it some 3 years ago under
 | 
						|
   the LGPL. As a few people have added to it, it's not really possible to
 | 
						|
   change the licence, and I don't want to polute PostgreSQL's source tree ;-)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
retepGraph: This was an old graphics library. It's been obsolete for 3 years
 | 
						|
now, so it's not going in.
