Yes, i used the tutorial. Someone from irc gave me the link to it. And yes, I implemented my api call using that. But that's when the question poped up in regards of dependent code.
After this email, Dahn from irc suggested i create a code restructure proposal (to move vnc related libs to some shared codebase). So i'll try to figure something out over the next week or two. Regarding the benefits for all users, i think having an api call which returns an url for the console - instead of depending on the management server itself - would benefit a lot of people (especially in the commercial environment). I'm working on this because we ourself need this feature :) So i'm just trying to figure out the best/correct way to implement this in CS.

Linas Congrats on first java project ever! CloudStack supports custom pluggable APIs that you dont have to bake into code base - unless you feel many other users will benefit from it. We do it all the time and i'm sure many others orgs do the same... Search the web for CloudStack custom API, there is a baked in example for creating custom API plugin and get time date from Management Server.. Also, this thread is a good example: https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@cloudstack.apache.org/msg55559.html I recall there was a doc that explained it in greater detail, but i havent had a chance to look for it.
