I agree. The idea of a "heartbeat" release, show we are alive is good.
A blocker I found so far is the Sun labs "brazil" dependency in one of the examples. Do you have a copy of this jar around? The Oracle link to the project is broken.

The project is suffering from inertia right now; no activity in the repository in last 20 months and a user list that has only had ~35 posts this year. A bug fix release would show some sign of life to the community and perhaps attract some interest again in contributing. Thanks.
