Alan (and others),
While I'm no longer at SGI, I remain active (and passionate) about PCP.
Mark has a new PCP open source release that is pending, this will
include the pieces necessary for the Java stuff. Once that happens, I
believe interested parties (which now includes me) could petition SGI to
make the unreleased and unsupported PCP components (Java and DBMS chunks
in particular) available under the GPL to anyone who's willing to take
on the gatekeeper role.
On another front, I'm well down the track to an open source pmchart
replacement (kmchart), based on Qt and qwt ... send me e-mail if you'd
be interested in participating in this development effort.
