Abstract

Jun is a large open-source graphics and multimedia library. It is object-oriented and supports 3D geometry, topography and multimedia. This paper reviews the development of the Jun library from five perspectives: open-source, software evolution processes, development styles, technological support, and development data. We conclude the paper with lessons learned from the perspective of a for-profit company providing open-source object-oriented software to the community.
