WebMacro and Java Synchronization Project

Greetings,

The WebMacro development team is pleased to announce the release of 
WebMacro 2.0. This evolutionary step in text generation and scripting 
for the Java community is significant for a very important reason: as 
you hear the tempting siren call to try other "scripting" languages that 
are non-compiled, intuitive, etc, you may overlook that for 4-7 years a 
lot of very smart people have invested hundreds of thousands of hours in 
bringing superb scripting to the java community. WebMacro is such an 
example. It is absolutely rock-solid having been in development for 6 
years now.

WM is the ancestor to Velocity and inspired Freemarker and other 
java-based scripting languages. Its parser is based on JavaCC. The call 
to use PHP, RonR does not leverage the intellectual investment one has 
in core Java, its robust APIs, and supporting protocols. You will not be 
disappointed to download WebMacro and run its inventory of test scripts 
out-of-the-box. It makes short work of complex Web apps to name just one 
of many. It is incredibly user-friendly as that the parser does not 
mandate enclosing tags: $name. with the trailing period works fine. You 
do not need to do ${name}. or <$name>. to get the disired effect. You 
can write your own directives in about 30 lines of code. WM is small. 
You build different kinds of things quickly. OK. I'm done!

Hoping you are still with me :). I have discovered that I have a need 
for a robust file and directory replication daemon. Both at the radio 
station and at home, I want to replicate directories among local hosts 
and drives; secondarily, across the network. This project will not take 
more than 45 days to complete a solid working service. A lot of basic 
plumbing is already public-domain. There are some projects at 
SourceForge but none that look as interesting as writing a 1.5 app from 
the ground-up using WM 2.0 as a command-and-control system. Write me 
off-line. This will be fun, fast, extreme and easy to knock off. It will 
give you some good exposure to working at SourceForge.

thanks for your time,
