Where to get InterClient 2.01 source code?


We have a legacy facility that uses InterBase 5.6.

The latest Java client library that could access it is the InterClient 2.01.

There're an InterClient 2.01 binaries on SourceForge (look for interclient_201_* files), and there are some clues in the readme and around the web that the source for this version was released somehow (check Wikipedia and maillists - I've encountered the same wording in multiple places where people're discussing the fact that the 2.01 sources were published but were erroneously tagged as 2.00).

I've looked over the web and haven't found these sources anywhere. Seems that they have been lost.

Could anybody give me a direction - where to look for these sources? There are some weird errors in them so I'd like to maybe somehow fix them and publish the fixed version in Maven, so people could use them more easily and world becomes a little better place for live.


Solution

  • I've found them. They are here: http://firebird.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/firebird/interclient/20/dev/

    (Note that they can be downloaded only from CVS and not from git.)

    I've published the extracted source with history here: https://github.com/ForNeVeR/interclient
