Hi devs, Just a quick note to let you know of XBeans: http://geronimo.apache.org/xbean/index.html I haven't researched it but I know it plays well with Plexus. At some point we'll probably need to decide if we want to go the OSGi route or use Plexus + XBeans, or use the Plexus OSGi bridge, or... Anyway our work is still to transform our monolithic code base into components for now and that's what we should be focusing on. We can delay the choice of the IOC tool/component manager to later for now. Thanks -Vincent
