That's what I'm going to try at any rate. Fulcrum doesn't hold a candle to lifecycle management that avalon provides and I would be happy to see the core Fulcrum code get flushed down the toilet. No one has done more refactoring of that code, and even though it's much better after a lot of toil in decoupling it I would still prefer to see it die. The services themselves are a different story. Many of the services that provide a lot of value like intake and localization should be turned into components and tossed into the commons then wrappers can be placed around them so they work in avalon. There is a scheduler, JMX, xmlrpc, and persistence component (using OJB) in plexus already. But you have to understand that plexus is barely out of the inception phase, after the end of the next phase of elaboration there should be enough information to have a formal plan. I'm just quietly working away at the moment thought you can see the changes happening as everything is in CVS. > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- jvz.
