The beginnings of the Java Service Wrapper were originally developed
by Leif Mortenson starting in early 1999 as a personal tool for
private development projects. At this point it was completely closed
source, existing only in a dark corner of a hard drive, as a small
Windows-only tool that could be used to install a Java application
as an NT service.
Leif joined an internet startup,
Silver Egg Technology,
in October of 1999. In early 2000, Leif brought the basics of what
was to become the Wrapper in to work as it was a ready made to tool
to solve the problem of being able to install Silver Egg's primary
product as an NT service. Together with Ryan Shaw, another Silver
Egg employee, significant improvements were made to the Wrapper
over the following months as features such as error recovery and
Linux support were added.
In November of 2001, Silver Egg decided to open the Wrapper up as an
open source project as a way to give something back to the community.
As the majority of development to date had been contributed by
Silver Egg, the Java Service Wrapper was released under Silver Egg
copyright using a the generous MIT license.
This initial release was version 2.2.0.
Leif and Ryan continued to develop the Wrapper mainly on personal time
until they both left the company in April of 2002. At this point the
Java Service Wrapper was at version 2.2.6
After leaving Silver Egg, Ryan has continued to provide some support for
development. However the majority of development from this point was
done by Leif, along with contributions from the growing Java Service
Wrapper community.
Development of the Java Service Wrapper continued under the
Silver Egg license until
January 2003, and version 2.2.9. At that point, to reflect the efforts
that have gone into the development of the Wrapper, the source code was
branched and sub-licensed to Tanuki Software, owned by Leif Mortenson,
prior to releasing version 3.0.0.
Unfortunately the first version of the Tanuki Software license, while also
being an MIT license, was incomplete in that it did not include all
required references to the original Silver Egg license. The license has
since been updated to include all required copyright information.
However, versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.5 were all released with the incomplete
license. If you have in your possession a copy of such a license, please
replace it with the complete Tanuki Software license
at the top of this page.
