Catch a lot of old URL's and update them. Also remove a couple of old files that aren't used.
Added URL to GPL headers.
i-scream is now licensed under the GPL. I've added the GPL headers to every source file, and put a full copy of the license in the appropriate places. I think I've covered everything. This is going to be a mad commit ;)
Major change in the java package naming. This has been held off for some time now, but it really needed doing. The future packaging of all i-scream products will be; uk.org.iscream.<product>.<subpart>.* In the case of the central monitoring system server this will be; uk.org.iscream.cms.server.* The whole server has been changed to follow this structure, and tested to a smallish extent. Further changes in other parts of the CMS will follow.
The whole server package structure has been changed. Old Package: uk.ac.ukc.iscream.* New Package: uk.org.iscream.*
New dependency checking. The old method was to attempt to start a Component, and if it failed, it probably had a depdency problem. The approach now is to ask the Component to perform a dependency check first, then if this suceeds, have a go at actually starting it up. The actual dependency check is a bit neater and more precise than before, and should be much more fool proof. The order the components are specified in the default.properties file is now irrelevant, although the "correct" order would certainly increase booting time.
Changes to reflect move of Component, ComponentStartException, and the ReferenceManager from util to componentmanager.
removed silly comments ;-p changed method header
Initial checkin This class is the interface for all iscream components
