Looks promising - maybe Karaf can support a 64 bit wrapper after all. I guess long term someone need to find a more Apache license friendly alternative to provide Wdinows services. Sounds like Apache should provide a project for this since so many Apache projects seem to depend on the service wrapper under Windows.
