I too think it's important that we revisit this stuff. But I also think we're just way too late for 4.2.x. Mark and I had an IM conversation on this topic on Friday morning last. At that time, I told him that I made an effort to gather my thoughts on this stuff a few weeks ago. I did it by way of putting together what I thought I'd like to see in the Message, taking the current message, my own experiences of using our Message, feedback from other users etc into consideration. I told Mark that I'd clean it up over the weekend. This is what I came up with. We obviously don't need to discuss anything in it right now. It's there for anyone to look at and we can discuss post 4.2.x. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4075741#...
