Scott, Bill, what do you guys think?
Does a native wrapper make sense for restart or it is better to keep it pure java and get away without restarting the vm? Jeff's reasoning makes sense to me. On the other hand though a native ingredient may reduce the overall perception that JBoss is platform independent all the way. If you noticed the Web Sphere announcement, they list a dozen operating systems as certified.
