No. 
A long time ago, I think JSVC was used. But it has been replaced with Tanuki 
for about 4 years now.

You can probably have a look at the following projects:
- apacheds-service
- apacheds-wrapper

These projects contains all the code to start/stop ApacheDS as a service. The 
Tanuki service wrapper implementation is separate and you could probably get 
some inspiration to port it to JSVC.

What was the problem?
Tanuki is still used on the milestones releases of ApacheDS (2.0.0-M1). Any 
issue with this version too?

It could be interesting to evaluate JSVC as a replacement for Tanuki.
Especially now that we're stuck at a given version (due to a licensing change, 
not being compatible with the Apache License) and this version is no longer 
maintained.

Please have a look at the two projects I mentioned above.

Yeah, I guess so.
You will then need to insert them in the server configuration via an LDIF 
import or directly editing entries with Studio.

We're still working on it. There's no ETA at the moment, but, probably later 
this year...

Can you elaborate more on this?
