The client communicates using JMX remoting over RMI although any protocol supported by the JMX transport should work. Also, deploy/redeploy is only supported for modules on the current machine (or via a well known network path).
This should work with any JSR88 tool - if anyone has access to one then please let me know if you can do any interop testing. We will be adding integration with maven and ant real soon now - instructions will be added to the wiki when done.
