jclouds-cli use of karaf is a big hammer to solve the simple problem of translating command-line tokens into jclouds methods. Having spent significant time improving jclouds-cli, I prefer not continue down this path. I believe the BlobStoreCli approach gives a more intuitive user experience, better configuration and logging, and has better performance/lower overhead. -- Andrew Gaul http://gaul.org/
