I’m using it and I couldn’t be more happy.

I think you can assume that it’s stable and that the lack of activity is because there’s nothing much to be added to it. If you look at the TODO you’ll see that dvarnes lists a few new features he was planning to add to the library, but I think most of them are just nice-to-have features.

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] java-esl-client

Hi,

I'm looking at the various ways to control a freeswitch instance from a java program.  The event-socket interface looks like it does what we need.  And I've looked into using the Java-ESL-Client. 

I haven't found a whole lot of documentation or recent discussion around the ESL-Client (looked on the freeswitch wiki, googled it and the mail list archives), and the last checkin to freeswitch-contrib was in Aug, 2010.  Is the ESL-Client widely used by java developers needing to interface with freeswitch? 

I've downloaded the code from git.freeswitch.org and it's nice looking code and decently commented.  Is the lack of activity an indication it's really stable and the event-socket interface hasn't changed much recently?  Or has the project lost steam? 

thanks,
Joel
