OK, here is the status.

o distribution include source codes, binaries and maven scripts.

o Larm is now using Merlin as a container. The reasons behind this move is greater architectural flexibility and cutting edge:)

o All services/components are well isolated, the interfaces are separated from their implementations by packages.

o The old Monitor service is split into 3 services. The Monitor service itself, performing monitory task (only a small one right now). The Descriptor service (basically our old Monitor stuff). Finally there is a Printer service which I really want to see removed and replace by a client application connecting to the larm through AltRMI. I have tried to use AltRMI but lost patience. Using the version 0.7 with phoenix, I know it work great and is easily embedded inside a component architecture (facade pattern).

o Cornerstone components are loaded into Merlin. Not successful with AltRMI but it could be really useful if we want to use the threadpool, scheduling, ..., services.

o License and basic javadocs are included.

TODO:

o Create a Parser service. It will be mapped around the current "Tokenizer" class. Not completely sure but I think only a "parse( LinkHanlder lh, Reader r )" function have to be exposed.

o AltRMI

o Use the Cornerstone Thread service. Will lead to many changes.

o Use the Excalibur event service.
