perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Jason Zurawski <>]

Hey Brian;

There is work to ‘fix’ it, but the fixing that has been discussed is more 
about moving away from Java completely.  

NDT is a separate project from perfSONAR, I would suggest filing a bug with 
that project to bring visibility to the issue:

https://code.google.com/p/ndt/issues/list

For instance I believe there is work on a ‘flash’ client, I don’t know the 
timelines on when that may happen though.  

Thanks;

-jason
