The deployment features of JASMINe are now based on Jade v2.0 which migrated from the Oscar project (OSGi r3) to the Apache Felix project (OSGi r4).

Support of the JOnAS clustering design, configuration and deployment.

Add support for the JBoss application server deployment (prototype).

JASMINe Monitoring
