It is on the wiki. DeltaCloud Deltacloud Deltacloud defines a web service API for interacting with cloud service providers and resources in those clouds in a unified manner. In addition, it consists of a number of implementations of this API for the most popular clouds.

Re: [IP-CLEARANCE] Bushel Donation to Apache Ant
Apologies if this is not the place to discuss this, but I notice on the Bushel Google Code page that it only honours require-bundle, is that still the case? Are there plans to support import/export package soon (since package level dependencies are the recommended practice and, IMHO, require-bundle is frankly an after-thought to OSGi to support the Eclipse crowd). I think this has the potential to be a great addition to Ivy, but not until it supports package level dependencies. That said, I don't have anything against this happening, just curious and would like to know that further development is planned. :) Cheers, Chris On 15 November 2010 12:14, Stefan Bodewig bode...@apache.org wrote: Hi all, the people behind the Bushel project at Google Code[1] which provides limited OSGi support to Apache Ivy want to donate their codebase for integration into Ivy.
