No, I am not the one making all the decisions. Those are made by the jBoss
board along with communication with the jBoss user and developer
communities.
I merely expressed the facts regarding the scope of our project and how it
would relate to OpenEJB. I also strongly questioned some of your statements,
but that was more of a personal reflection.

jBoss already has pluggable security and JAAS integration, transaction
services, and pluggable persistence managers (our own, TOPLink, and CocoBase
currently). We are also working on the Connector API and EJB 2.0 support
including MessageDriven beans.
Plus a whole lot more, including administration tools and a pretty darn
advanced clustering system.

Excellent! I will await the results eagerly.
PLGC,

ps. BTW, "PLGC" is the jBoss way of saying "alright, enough yadda yadda,
let's back to coding" and means "Peace, Love, and Good Code".
