I'm going to investigate what it takes to convert James to maven 2

In general, I'd like the idea of James becoming more Container
agnostic very much. There are more than only one framework/container
which could spring to ones mind. (One of them even could be wrapping
James into a JCA)
I tried to dig up more information about (Geronimo) XBean's current
state (having briefly scanned the project somewhere in 2005 while it
was still at Codehaus). But there seems to be no real discussion on
any list or documentation how to use it. There are 'release'-tags in
Geronimo SVN but no downloads. What did I miss? Where is all the
development going on? Is it mature enough yet to deploy it in other
project's codebases like James?
Just taking James code into account, I think embedding it into another
container would be second after making James more POJO-ish or
otherwise decoupling its components from its current container.
Another question: maven-izing and XBean-izing - are these two separate
efforts or are they somehow interdependent?
Anyway, I'd like to know what comes out of this XBean experiment!
XBean is all about making James more POJO-ish. The resulting classes
will be container agnostic and should make James embeddable.
These efforts are not interdependent.

Alan
