Sorry to not respond earlier but things at work have been beyond insane.

Believe me - I quite understand. Same thing is going on here, which is
why its taken so long for me to finish things like the new communication schema.

I have the Stellation server working as a headless Eclipse application with the database specific stuff dynamically loaded on demand as Eclipse plugins.
In fact the repository management is also structured as a dynamically
loadable plugin.

The reason I have not checked in anything is that I got the impression that the changes in repository management and communications were severe enough that it was likely going to make more sense to see what you have come up with and tailor the overall server management stuff to integrate with your
new stuff.

I'll send another note about this to the list, but basically, I'm pretty nearly rewriting the entire server. So it makes sense to just build all of the new code correctly for the standalone Eclipse app structure.


If you want, I can certainly check in the current stuff but I suspect that there is a considerable amount of rewriting needed in the high level server
management part to fit in properly with your new stuff.


I'm sure there will be; but I think it'll be easier overall to see how you did the plugin-ization, and to build the new server code correctly for that.
So please do go ahead and checkin.
