[ckan-dev] CKANClient-J (+ an introduction)

[Ross Jones]

Hi Andrew,

Welcome to the list, glad to see you managed to get around the list problem
:)

That's great, I suspect maintaining a list of action calls as the CKAN core
API grows might become a little onerous, but you know, the joys of
statically typed languages ;)  Not sure who on the core team is comfortable
with Java, but if no-one objects, and if you submit a PR I'd be happy to
try it out and merge the changes for you. I think there is another fork of
the client containing a few patches, so it'd be great if you could merge
those in too.

Ross.
