http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/ It hasn't been released yet, but the feature set is stable. I have been recommending that developers who are just beginning with Pivot consider starting with 2.0 rather than 1.5, since we have made a lot of improvements in the 2.0 branch. > What I was trying to ask, is how/what do I pass to some class(es) that > currently know nothing about Pivot so that they can publish messages which I > want my Pivot application to listen for and respond to?

You can pass any Java type, including a class instance, enum value, etc. Your listener should simply subscribe() to that topic, and it will receive messages sent by your application via sendMessage(). Note however that these methods only work within a single JVM instance. If you need to pass messages to another process, you'll need to use some kind of IPC mechanism. G
