Well, there's probably lot's to do, but I'm thinking it's best if I finish off the "first-cut" myself (it's one of those "not sure of the architecture til the first pass is done" things). There's really only the security manager integration left to make it a functional container (as it sits in the source tree now, it can host Reggie successfully, including hosting the codebase server). I'm planning on working on it this week and part of next week, so with some luck, it'll be ready for demo soon. Once the first cut is done, then we'll have all kinds of usability features that folks can dig in to. I'll tell you what the outside world really needs, though: IDE integration. We need to get to the point where you can go to Netbeans and select "New...Jini Service Project" and then go into your web app and select "New...Jini client". Anybody interested in Netbeans or Eclipse integration? My personal taste is for Netbeans, and I suspect it'll be relatively easy to add in a Jini project template, given the Ant-driven nature of it, but I haven't looked too deeply. Cheers, Greg.
