That would be cool.

You probably have several options we'd be happy to help get you spun up with: - If you want a (relatively) stable, tested release, I would try M2. The downside is it is based of the .95 SCA spec. For starting our and developing apps, I would use this. - If you want a slightly more updated version for creating runtime extensions, the pre-spec snapshot should be relatively stable. The changes from the M2 release are constrained so if you were more interested in developing an extension on a stable release, I would go with it. - If you want to develop against the 1.0 spec, we're pretty close in trunk to getting support for a good chunk of the 1.0 client APIs. Meeraj has also made a lot of progress on defining the discovery and federation messages. Perhaps we could work together on those so the Java and C++ runtime can federate as a starting point? I'm happy to help so drop a line on the list.

I'll go and catch up on
the deployment work you've highlighted. I don't know if this is currently in scope but I would like to have as a target the ability to wire components from different (language) runtimes together. Next week I'll see If I can get Java up with the options you've outline and see what works for me. Simon
