Definitely. Bootique is a new project, and my hope is it will make it as far as Cayenne and further. I am doing a presentation at WOWODC this summer and at ApacheCon in May. In a few words, it is a flexible modular framework (or platform?) that allows you to build Java apps that run without containers (hence the jar/war meme that that I quoted from SpringBoo folks). It is very easy to create web services [1] and such, but also apps of any type and complexity. There's a Cayenne integration module, as well a dozen other modules (the list is quickly growing). For those who haven't seen it yet, we just launched a new site at http://bootique.io/ . Andrus [1] http://bootique.io/docs/0/getting-started/index.html
