[comp.object] OO Software Libraries

wittkopf@proton.mpr.ca (Kevin Wittkopf) (03/15/91)

I am currently involved in a project to build an OO software class library
  tool, and am presently investigating adding support for non-OO
  components, specifically support for 'wrapper' classes that are used to
  encapsulate existing non-OO components. I'm interested in any similar
  experiences anyone has had in this area, especially conversion of
  so-called 'legacy' systems (non-OO systems) to an object-oriented
  framework. Also, any experiences in general in creating and using OO
  and/or non-OO software libraries would be greatly appreciated. 
  Thanx in advance.

I'm currently developing an OO software library tool, consisting of a
repository of (potentially) reusable classes, coupled with query mechanisms
for locating the classes.  I'm now in the process of obtaining any publicly
available classes or class libraries to form the initial population in the
library.  The domain is telecommunications, but general purpose classes
will be included as well.  The tool currently supports c++, eiffel, and
objective-C components, but may be augmented in the future to support
additional OOPL's. 

I'm interested in any email and/or FTP addresses of publicly-available 
classes or class libraries that might be useful (I currently have libg++ 
and NIH libraries, as well as some communications and graphics-based 
classes developed in-house). 


Also, if there is anyone doing similar work, I'd be interested in 
hearing about it.

Thanx in advance.
