Developer Benefits

Both accounts and package domains are assigned on a first come first served basis. Once you obtain a package domain, it belongs to you.
• Shell Account
  A login on server.gjt.org. Can you stand the excitement? 8-)
• Package Domain
  Many developers of free Java software lack a domain name that they can use for their Java package names. If you join the project, you can choose a package domain name under 'org.gjt' as your own. Once that package domain name is assigned to you, you may use it for all of your packages, since that package domain now belongs to you. Both accounts and package domains are assigned on a first come first served basis.
• CVS Server
  Each developer will have full access to the live Giant Java Tree CVS Repository. You will be a peer with all other developers, and you will automatically be assigned as the maintainer of your work. You will be able to manage your software, and get free and automatic backup.
• EMail Account
  Each developer will be given an email account on mail.gjt.org.
• Mailing List Support
  Mailing lists will be created for projects that demonstrate enough interest and for tree development in general.
• Support Tools
  With jCVS, the GJT project has state-of-the-art version management software. Several projects in progress, including bug tracking and release management, will complete the suite.
• Automatic Archival
  The Giant Java Tree is automatically backed up and archived. Mailing lists are archived and searchable, the website, cvs repository, user home directories, and all other areas of the project are backed up every night. A full featured web based archival system is under design.
• Experience
  Your work on the Giant Java Tree makes for an excellent item on your resume, and allows potential employers to immediately review your work online in an impressive format.
