Thanks very much for the positive feedback.

Yes, the idea of exposing architecture, good or bad, is a fundamental aim
of the technology.

At the moment the technology is still learning how best to present j2ee
deployments, by that I mean that the layout algorithims are still evolving.

Yes the icons are poor, the idea is that they should be vendor specific.

Open sourcing the work is a possibility, I think its still a bit early for
that. I all depends on whether or not I can get some sort of funding to
continue its development.

all the best

Jeremy
