A DBus daemon for Windows, Mac OS and optionally Linux.
Linux of course already has it's own dbus broker. It is included here for demonstration purposes, and can co-exist with Jadbus
- You are developing a Linux application on Mac OS or Windows and want to support and test DBus functionality
- You are porting a Linux application to Mac OS or Windows that makes us of DBus
- You have a cross platform, multi-language application made up of multiple components, and you need a well documented and supported RPC mechanism for all the bits to talk to each other.
- Installs a system bus service and a user bus on all platforms (in a similar way Linux does).
- Supplies an environment variable in a users environment indicating location of bus.
- Natively compiled. Low memory footprint and fast start up.
At the moment, security of the dbus is just supplied by file permissions. Work is in progress to tighten up the security a bit.
All applications share the bus(es), and this is perfectly safe for open desktop applications that wish to expose public APIs, but for more secure usages the moment, you will have to make your own arrangements.
- More security
- Configuration (using drop-in files like Linux)
- Initial release
