Me too, let's not give up just yet. I have a feeling that if we let this opertunity slip we will never be able to upgrade to a newer container and we will really be stuck on ECM.

As far as I have followed the discussion there was: - ParentAware interface: no problem with Fortress there, we can loose it. - Recomposable / Reconfigurable interfaces: no solution yet, needs refactoring. - Support for current sitemap syntax instead of Fortress shorthand syntax (?) - SourceResolver: several options on the table. - ... ? > * Make the Main class work with the new bean. > * Get rid of the old bean.
