ServiceMix is a much less active project today than it used to be. Also most of the work that used to be at SerivceMix is now happening at Karaf and Camel instead. Users looking for a single download installation can still find value in ServiceMix. But its a bit concerning that the project does not do releases so often. In my mind ServiceMix is a dying project, and users should take that into account. I would point people 2 main ways. 1) Karaf and then install what they need such as Camel / CXF etc. Then you can build your own ServiceMix. 2) fabric8 which is has a lot more to offer. http://fabric8.io/ certainly for the new era of cloud and managing a lot of containers, and having a consistent web user interface using hawtio, and much more. .. and besides fabric8 you may find value in Apache Karaf Cellar, and possible other 3rd party projects. -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- Red Hat, Inc.
