I'd also like to suggest that there are different groups of architectures, such as a MicroKernel architecture (of which Avalon and HiveMind may be examples).
Whats the distinction between them? Both JMX and Pico are both micro kernel architectures too aren't they?
I can't say for Pico, but JMX is a management extension, not a kernel architecture.
That doesn't mean you can't have a JMX based micro-kernel
So it couldn't really be called a micro kernel, no.
So you're saying JBoss, Tomcat, Jetty and Geronimo for example are not using a JMX micro kernel? What would you call it then? How would you distinguish a Pico / Avalon kernel from the JMX-based equivalent?
