Maybe I can get a better grip if I ask more precise questions. Questions below is "native Merlin", i.e. without any kind of Phoenix emulation layer;
1. Does Merlin support the "Named Instance" model (a.k.a Singleton) that is used in Phoenix?
yes.
2. Does Merlin have some method for a Block to locate all other Blocks running? (I use BlockListener in Phoenix).
Not sure.
3. I can run Merlin either as a service (NT & Linux) or directly from commandline using a script/bat which is stoppable?
Yes (per Stephen).
4. Does Merlin have some kind of "packaging" system?
Nothing more than JAR files at the moment. Apparently SAR support would be relatively easy.
5. Does Merlin supports some kind of hot-deploy, re-deploy to any extent similar to Phoenix?
That one Steve would be better to answer.
I think this is comprehensible enough for me to make a balanced decision.
:) good.
