The Eclipse January Project

What is this?

This is a library for handling Data in Java. It is inspired in part by NumPy and aims to provide similar functionality.

The Eclipse January project combines the core data structures projects of the following projects which originated the code.

• Eclipse DAWNSci
• Eclipse ICE
• Eclipse EAVP

Why use it?

• Familiar. Provide familiar functionality, especially to NumPy users.
• Robust. Has test suite and is used in production heavily at Diamond Light Source and Oak Ridge National Laboratory
• No more passing double[]. IDataset provide a consistent object for basing APIs on with significantly improved clarity over using double arrays or similar.
• Optimized. Optimized for speed and getting better all the time.
• Scalable. Allows handling of data sets larger than available memory with "Lazy Datasets".
• Focus on your algorithms. By reusing this library it allows you to focus on your code.

january-forms's Issues

Code cleanup issues in forms

Here are a number of code cleanup things that needs to be done in forms. Not a priority list, just stuff I happened to notice:

• releng projects are the same names as top-level january (e.g. org.eclipse.january.releng.p2 exists in both eclipse/january and eclipse/january-forms)
• .DS_Store in root of repo. Is that meant to be there?
• january-local2 is the project name of the root project, can it be something like january-forms-root?
• there are > 100 javadoc references to org.eclipse.ice.datastructures.* that should be updated
• there is one reference to org.eclipse.ice.datastructures in non-comments org.eclipse.january.form.test/src/org/eclipse/january/datastructures/test/IJAXBClassProviderTester.java

January forms target platform out of date

The Forms branch is failing to build because it refers to an S build (stable for milestones) of Orbit that has now been removed. It needs updating the the correct (ideally) R build.
