Hi all,

Service Mix is one thing and Camel is an other.

The fact that JBI failed to become widely accepted, does not mean that it
should be deprecated. It could become optional but I don't see why
deprecated.
I agree with Adrian the deprecated sounds really strong. For all existing
professional JBI  users, the word deprecation means replacement. I really
can't see a production infrastructure built on "deprecated" software. So
deprecating JBI is like punishing all those who chose to invest on it.

As a ServiceMix/Camel user I don't like the fact that binding components
have been discontinued, that serivcemix-eip is deprecated in favor of camel
etc, since camel can't give me 100% of the functionality I want (yet). Can
camel provide me with alternatives for all the existing servicemix-eips? No.
Can camel provide me with alternatives for  all existing service mix binding
components? No. Is Camel as scalable as ServiceMix? No.

It is totally understandable that Karaf / Camel combo is very strong and
easy to use, but that doesn't mean anything. Karaf is a really strong
runtime and it could be used as a base for any infrastructure. Does it mean
that since I can use Karaf/Aries/OpenEJB/ActiveMQ/Jetty, Geronimo should
change focus or get deprecated? No.

Things I would love to see in Service Mix 5 are:

1) Improved management.
i) Full life cycle control of endpoints (servicemix or camel) via command
prompt, web console, jmx.
ii) Endpoint Life cycle bindings to certain events inside the BUS (example:
on accept connection activate route X, on connection lost deactivate route
X).
iii) Advanced endpoint (servicemix or camel) publishing via command-prompt,
web console, jmx.
iv) A web based integration designer, where the user could draw EIPs and
ServiceMix would create the Endpoints, Camel Routes etc.
v) Advanced monitoring. (Example I want to know any given time even that
state of Jetty's connection pool).

2) Integration with third party software
i) Spring Batch would be interesting.
ii) The Apache Hadoop stack.

3) Cloud deployments.
 i) Maybe it would be a good idea Cloud Mix to merge with Service Mix.
ii) Other similar cloud related things.

4) The Apache Bundle Repository
i) Make ServiceMix bundles an independent project, in a conjoined effort
with the rest of ASF projects that use OSGi, for faster bundle coverage
which would aid point 2 and also save resources.
