There is work going on right now to harmionize Phoenix and Merlin.
Merlin is single component focussed - i.e. supply it with the class
name of the component and Merlin will figure everything out. Phoenix is
focussed on a multiple applications where an application can be
considered as a collection of components with explicit assembly and
configuration declarations. To cover the complete spectrum of simple
component execution through to full multi-application deployment there
is still work to be done ... Merlin needs to be exetended to support
execution of an single application, and at a more abstract level Pete
and I are working on converging the meta-info representation so that
components can be passed between Merlin/Phoenix/Anything-Else without
concern.
This means that you will have:
- component assembly and execution from ant, command line
(already available via Merlin)
- single application execution from ant or command line (future)
- multi-application deployment (available today via Phoenix)
- common meta-model mangement (near-term future)
Meaning no-change to the component across any kernel.
