Ignasi,

Thanks for calling out Cloudsoft AMP as a user of jclouds-karaf. We plan as
Apache Brooklyn community to rely more on it in the next versions.

Personally I'd prefer to have jclouds-examples always up-to-date (sorry if
I started to improve that repo and still unfinished that task) as it seems
more useful from a development perspective rather than the jclouds-cli
which is more a sysadmin tool, imho.

Please fire up rc3 if you can!

My two cents,
Andrea
