Thank you Adrian. Yes it was very helpful. When I evaluate my requirements again I don't see real value by adding ServiceMix. I can do everything just by working with all this interesting products like Karaf, ActiveMQ, Camel and maybe ServiceMix and CXF only for interoperability with "external" systems.
I see you work at core of this projects. When I read roadmaps on projects they look little bit outdated. What's next in queue? Do you work on something interesting?
