Sorry, I included your comments because I agree with them.
I also wanted to stress my original objection to creating
a NEW components library. I agree completely with what
you are saying.
We should be showcasing JBoss by building upon an existing
component framework and, as much as is possible, improving
that framework instead of creating yet another. It is true
that some things may be JBoss specific but we should aim to
keep that to a minimum.
Sorry for the confusion,
Kev
