Mustansar,

Thanks for your comment.

I would love to move to Pluto 2.0 and support JSR-286 - but that is more like 2 months of effort versus 45 minutes of effort needed to go from 1.1.2 to 1.1.7.  The good news is that some of the changes in 1.1.2 to 1.1.7 were re-factor prepping for 2.0.

It might be something to consider for 2.9, but for me I would like to see some evidence that folks are really using the features of 286 beyond 168 (i.e. eventing, etc).  I can imagine that the 286 features would be useful, but the question to me is if and how they are being used.

I would love to see a good example of how JSR-286 can be used to solve the Sakai "helper" problem where one tool wants to temporarily invoke another (like a file picker) and then get a picked file back.  It would seem as though eventing would be ideal for this and I would love to see an example.
