Maciek,
You can find some background on what we're trying to do with the ServiceMix 5 development effort in http://servicemix.396122.n5.nabble.com/PROPOSAL-New-plan-for-Apache-ServiceMix-5-0-td5715705.html The current plan is to get rid of some of the legacy technology (like the NMR and JBI layers) and get ourselves something that's easier to maintain/build/release/... With Apache Camel 2.11.0 currently under vote, the plan is to follow up with an Apache ServiceMix 5.0.0 release after that is done. Once we have the basic build and release cycle on the rails again, we should definitely start looking into adding more value into the container again. At this point, you could help us out by giving the 5.0.0-SNAPSHOTs a spin and reporting any issues you find - feel free to add a patch to the JIRA issues, btw ;) If you have any suggestions on new functionality or a better integration between the stuff that's already there, we're always very interested in hearing about them.
