Contrary to most of the others on this thread I appreciate you're using Java for this. Using Java means drawing upon a very robust foundation. This very much looks like a tool for business rather than personal use.<p>I can't imagine why a company wouldn't get a proper yet slightly more expensive server with an adequate amount of RAM instead of a vhost that only allows to run PHP, especially as the software itself comes for free and most companies such a tool would be useful for likely already have some sort of dedicated server - either on-prem or hosted - anyway.<p>Besides, Java often is the only option for deploying tools in larger companies.<p>I have one question, though: What's your business model with Lavagna? From what I've seen at a cursory glimpse there doesn't seem to be dual-licensing or anything similar (which on the other hand probably wouldn't make sense for a project management tool anyway).
Can those who 'lost' the post at Java describe what makes it 'lose' them? Curious.<p>Also, is the implication that the merit of the tool is decided based on your personal liking/disliking for the language it is implemented in? That seems childish! If you are responsible for any decent business, dangerous!
I have a few comments on this one<p>1. It looks awesome in terms of UI
2. The webpage looks great and explains everything I wanted to know.<p>But when I looked at the source code and saw Java I was deeply disappointed.<p>I use Java a lot, MapReduce, Pig, Storm topologies, I love java but I would never use it on a server.<p>With every open source project adoption is super important, having Java on the server is a big ask when you want someone to try your project out.<p>One thing that will help a lot here is if you have a Dockerfile on your repo, this way people can build and deploy it easily. I'd even go as far as creation a chef recipe for it. Those can seem out of scope, but can help a lot.<p>Anyway, this seems like a solid piece of open source. Awesome
Tried running on my Ubuntu 14.04 server and got the errors below (I have MySQL 5.5, java version 1.7.0_75 and have installed libmysql-java)...<p>./lavagna.sh: line 54: -Ddatasource.dialect=MYSQL: command not found
./lavagna.sh: line 55: -Ddatasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/lavagna: No such file or directory
./lavagna.sh: line 61: -Ddatasource.username=lavagnauser: command not found
like everyone else commenting, I despise java. However, I'm already using Trello, and this looks like a near full-replacement, so I'll suck up the extra ram usage and give it a try. thanks!
Looks cool and interesting. But it's Java so I won't be using it. While it may the right tool it's not something I can easily deploy with low to no overhead.
