Re. * SCA Java APIs and Annotations 1.0 Almost complete, just missing a complete implementation of ServiceReferences and a few conversational annotations. I just opened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-1511 to bring forward the conversational issues that were recorded as we went through the spec/code a couple of weeks ago. The major parts here are tied up with the overlap between callbacks and conversations which I know the other Simon has been looking at in detail and on the service reference piece which you already mention. Happy to help out with these parts but want to draw a line under the distributed support first. The other thing that I think we need to add to the list is a diagnostics and error handling story. There was a thread on it ages ago but we didn't do anything about it. I'll go look it up and restart it. Simon
