Java Multicodec Implementation

[AliabbasMerchant]

Hello!
I have started working on the Java Implementation of Multicodec: https://github.com/AliabbasMerchant/java-multicodec
Tagging @ianopolous

Thanks for the tag. Is this different from the Codec in Cid? Where would it be used?

This is similar to py-multicodec.

It contains all multicodecs, as defined in this repo, and not just CIDs.

Also, I am nearly done with the code.
I'll hopefully commit it by tomorrow.

[AliabbasMerchant]

I am done with the code and the tests and have commited the code: https://github.com/AliabbasMerchant/java-multicodec
It is working properly. I have cross-checked with py-multicodec.
Please just have a look and let me know. I will start writing the docs once I get a confirmation from you guys.

I am done with the documentation.
1 request: Could someone please check the pom.xml and build.xml files?? I have made modifications, as far as I could, but I am not confident. There is indeed some error in the build.xml (https://github.com/AliabbasMerchant/java-multicodec/blob/5e44c90aeacecde66e6f4f3fa11b7d0bfd3ab819/build.xml#L40)

Also, what about the maven hosting and all?? I don't know a thing about it.

Again, Tagging: @ianopolous @daviddias @kumavis @RichardLitt @jbenet

Thank you guys in advance.

@ianopolous @daviddias @kumavis @RichardLitt @jbenet ??
Guys please have a look at the repo and respond... 😃

[RichardLitt]

Sorry @AliabbasMerchant, I'm not involved in this project anymore, and can't help at the moment. Good luck!

[AliabbasMerchant]

@RichardLitt Oh Ok.
Although, 1 request, could you please tell the concerned guys... Or @mention them...??
Thank you...

[RichardLitt]

I appreciate that you're eager to resolve this. But I just mentioned that I'm not involved. They'll get to it when they get to it; there's not much more I'm willing to do on my end. Again, good luck.
