        Hi Nathan,
        Do you really think you can build a best-of-breed JMS provider just by plugging together CMP/JBoss, AOP/JBoss, JCA/JBoss, Clustering/JBoss, Cache/JBoss? I know it seems like all of the pieces you need are there, but each of these pieces are complicated infrastructure pieces/services in their own right, often with complicated configuration and tweaking options. A JMS solution that requires someone to configure JBoss caching, clustering, cmp and jca to get working sounds like no fun, as well as having the potential to be very brittle in the face of "issues" when any of the other services have problems. What if i want to bounce my cache service? Do i have to cycle my JMS service as well? Perhaps you are considering just re-using code/classes rather than the deployed services, but my experience with the JBoss codebase leads me to believe that developers have tended not to focus on re-use at the class/package level but more at the service level.

        Im not saying that it cant be done, I would just like you to explain further what your thoughts are as lead on this development. Its important stuff and I think there are definately people out there who want to help out, myself included, but you need to spell out your direction. With a rewrite you have the opportunity to do some design before you cut the code. Lets do that :)

        cheers
