Motivations

We're considering taking on this build pack technology for Java deployments and wanted to make sure the memory calculator was supported and that we could contribute to it

While this repo is owned by Paketo and not archived, the upstream repository indeed is an SAP open source repository that has been archived.

The memory calculator is a different thing altogether. Should be this code inside libjvm repository.

+1 to what @loewenstein-sap said. The memory calculator is part of libjvm, it's still under active development and supported by the project. No worries about that.

The memory assistant is a different technology. It is a Java agent that could be installed alongside your app to help do some memory-related tasks. That project was from SAP and was discontinued, which is why we added the note on the README. We'll still be publishing this buildpack, but we want folks to know the upstream project that this buildpack installs is archived and won't be updated.
