By upgrading to JDK 1.6 we can also start to include components which uses libaries that requires JDK 1.6+. For example the Apache Cassandra project. We have a camel-cassandra project at github which the author is willing to donate to Apache Camel when we are ready to include it. I am sure there are other of the new cloud and no-sql frameworks which would be interesting to have a Camel story and components out of the box. -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- FuseSource Email: cib...@fusesource.com Web: http://fusesource.com Twitter: davsclaus Blog: http://davsclaus.blogspot.com/ Author of Camel in Action: http://www.manning.com/ibsen/
