Thanks Neeraj, It is a really good idea to be part of Apache. I am not sure about the details of hosting an existing project in Apache, but I will try to go for it in near future or maybe after the first GA release.

Congratulations, Do you plan to host this project as part of Apache in the future?

StarMX is a generic management framework which helps to automate management tasks. It allows defining the management logic in form of policies or rules, and it is able to integrate with different policy engines like Imperius. The support for the Imperius framework has already included in StarMX, and no development effort needed if Imperius is used as the policy engine. For using other policy/rule engines, an adapter class should be implemented to enable the interaction between StarMX and that engine. StarMX key features include: * Enabling different JMX features for automated application management including: * Using MBeans as anchor objects for policies * Using Monitor MBeans * Supporting variety of mechanisms to access MBeanServers * Supporting JMX notification * Enabling timer-based and event-based policy execution * Creating chain of policies or adaptation processes to be executed in order * Memory scopes for storing and exchanging information among policies * Developing management logic as Java classes besides policies For more information please refer to http://sourceforge.net/projects/starmx/ I think the combination of Imperius and StarMX can provide a solid framework for dynamic application management and it is a step toward realizing the autonomic computing goals. Thanks, Reza
