Glad to help.

I am not sure, if there's anything going to happen at OFMP, but it is not
directly related to us ar UOMo.
Frederic said, they'll migrate to Eclipse Labs, let's see if that attracts
new committers...?

It is a building block like EMF, most likely to even support it in some way.
If you find a way to use ICU4J (Measure/Currency) in JQuantLib, that'll be
fine, and compatible with both some of Google's projects and Eclipse UOMo or
its extensions towards financial use cases.

The most I'd imagine to see in UOMo itself is probably a more sophisticated
Currency class than ICU4J has and basic currency exchange on top of that.
Probably sets of rules or interfaces to use exchange rates in time and
context, but no concrete implementations. That's up to either you, OFMP or
custom projects.

I will have a look at ICU4J and evaluate how it impacts performance.
IMHO, performance is 'the' critical issue when we talk about financial
applications written in Java. This issue must be considered and
addressed from the day one, every day, otherwise performance will be
poor when compared to C++.

In particular, I believe that enterprise class, low latency financial
applications need RTSJ or something better. GC must be removed from the
equation every time it is possible. Better than trying to solve the
problem of unpredictable performance due to GC, we'd better get rid of
GC whatsoever.

Unfortunately, it's difficult to obtain the best from both worlds at the
same time: (1) elegant programming language and (2) good performance.

Following the withdrawal of Eclipse Financial and evidence in these forums,
that OFMP wasn't too active either, I took a first step and published UOMo
Financial on SVN:
http://ikayzo.org/svn/UOMo/trunk/org.eclipse.uomo.financial/

Please feel free to take a R/O browse at it.
The only external dependency is Units of Measure API and some Eclipse
artifacts including OSGi. Everything else can be found in SVN.

Looking forward to your thoughs and experience,
Werner
