Introduction

This is a project template for implementing SyncSource modules that extend the Funambol DS Server.

Funambol is the leading open-source implementation of the OMA DS protocol, formerly known as SyncML.

SyncML (/ Open Mobile Alliance Data Synchronization) is an open standard for a platform-independent information synchronization process which is today adopted by almost all mobile phone manufacturers.

SyncML is most commonly thought of as a method to synchronize contact and calendar information between a mobile phone, a personal computer or a server.

But what is really exciting about SyncML is that it can be used for a lot of other applications where the mobile client is only seldom connected with a server. Such may be the case for sales-force people and other fieldworkers.

A SyncSource defines a way in which a set of data is made accessible to the data server for synchronisation.

What's new in this version

It is now possible to use the Netbeans UI Builder to design visually the AdminPanel of the SyncSource.
