JOPS - Java Open Particle System -  has been moved  from Sourceforge to Google Code. Nothing against Sourceforge, quite on the contrary, a lot of praise for it.

But I’ve released some projects on google code, and it’s easier for me to manage my open source projects if they are on the same site. On another note, Sourceforge has a lot of functionality I don’t need right now, and Google Code has a more streamlined and simpler interface to deal with.

The very first code version of JATComm was uploaded to google code.

This project aims to use a mobile phone connected to your pc to send SMS messages.

It has three parts:

• Serial Connection - handles the serial connection to the mobile phone using RXTX library and sends SMS messages through AT commands. It will delete each sent message from the mobile’s memory in order not to fill it.
• SMS Server - The second project is a server using RESTlet library to deploy a remote service to send SMS messages. So you can use whatever platform you wish to send SMS messages - PHP, Flex, etc.
• SWING client - The third part is a SWING client that uses RESTlet to connect to the remote service as a client. It shows the available serial ports, you can change the connection port to use and also send a SMS message.

The project supports sending messages directly indicating the number and message , or using a XML representation of a single SMS, or a xml representation a batch of SMS messages, all sharing the same prefix. It uses XStream for XML to Object mapping.
The AT code was done for a Motorola V980 mobile phone, so you may have to change the code to get it working on a different model.

This was done for a school, in order that the student’s parents would receive mobile messages when the students receives grades or if the student misses more than 3 classes per week.

But i think this would be useful for other purposes too, so I’m making it available. Enjoy.
