The best place to look is the developer/user guide links that show up on the 
right side of component level web pages on http://oodt.apache.org. I just 
checked in a number of them tonight that existed on the internal JPL site, for 
the profile and product servers.

There are quite a few now. Should update on the website within the next 24 
hours.

With the latest movement of OODT to REST, we've removed the need for an 
explicit Profile/Product client, and moved towards a curl/wget model since they 
support the OODT product server and profile server protocols (delivered via 
webgrid).

HTH!

Cheers,
