Also jumping in a bit late, there is a lot of good discussion above. After reading all of the issues above I really think that KarafEE really would thrive better as a OpenEJB sub-project (perhaps being homed at http://openejb.apache.org/apache-karafEE.html).
As to the online registry I believe that Karaf Cave should provide most of what we're looking for here :) Cheers, Jamie On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 10:42 AM, Andreas Pieber <anpie...@gmail.com> wrote: > Jumping in quite late but just waiting for someone expressing what I'm > thinking.
