I'd still like to write a #Fediverse server in #Java, but I don't have the time or energy to do so solo. #programming

Cool! Are you aware of any good JSON → Java code generators? Manually writing the AP DTOs is more boilerplate than I have patience for.

well if then it would be openapi to Java which is straight forward; however I discovered there is already at least 1 ActivityPub-compatible Java implementations out there (https://fediverse.party/en/miscellaneous/)

I noticed Smithereens a while back, too. Could be a good starting point for a fork. Definitely would want to port it over to Postgres, though.

yes, totally. I'm going to check it out and boot it up to see how far it is yet

not the programming style I would do in 2022 however it seems a good starting point really

not. It's not. I'd rather start from scratch with micronaut or quarkus. This codebase is nothing we want to maintain

Thanks for looking into it. I've never worked with either of those frameworks, but they do sound promising.

Any ideas on a JSON → Java code generator for the AP object boilerplate?

because it's so obvious for the java implementation of the fediverse I suggest the name jediverse

See https://github.com/jediverse/coruscant which I just created. The models are there. No page is served yet, must be a config issue. http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/ works

Thank you for kicking this off. I can add the JSON DTOs, but I won't be able to get to it until the weekend.

I think it's already all set, see the model package

You might need something like this to handle polymorphism via the type field documented here. My code is under the BSD license, so it can be used elsewhere. Perhaps it would be a good idea to have a separate library since the other ones I've seen are very outdated.

I can handle the polymorphism, but I still won't have time until the weekend.

@Christine Lemmer-Webber I saw your name on a number of things related to ActivityPub test suites. Do you know if one still exists?

I'd help if it were Go! 🙃

But I would probably want to design a new protocol from scratch first.
