[Hawkular-dev] Should the components depend on the bus ?

IMO, the preferred method is to use JSON as a general payload to open up the ability for clients to be non-Java based. Java clients/servers can use these Java objects as a "convenience" but as Jay and I have shown in our demos, utilizing JSON as the payload opens things up to being able to send and receive information via simple "curl" clients or other non-Java clients.
