Ryan, Sounds very cool! Does the license.txt file tell HiveMind about additional module descriptor files which contain the extra contributions (plugin definitions)? Is that what you mean by "enables contributions as specified"?

Hivemind provided me with a very easy method of integrating my domain objects with this contribututions 'framework' to create a very powerful plugin archetecture. In a nut shell I have one war file I ship to all customers and a license.txt which hivemind reads and enables contributions as specified with very little work on my part (that I wouldn't have been doing anyways with other IOC containers). ryan On 11/23/05, Vinicius Carvalho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If there's something on the java world I really DO NOT like is SWT.
