The build structure for deployers is up. Although the unit test doesn't pass yet, it does deploy a virtual war. I scratched the original idea of going completely from the ground up, because the current integration code which resides in AS is pretty large and contains lots of features. So I now consume these artifacts in spider and build up a standalone bootstrap. It still uses bootstrap-impl-mc which leads to some wicked integration issues (with JMXKernel), so I'll switch to bootstrap-impl-as instead. The next step will be to fork the existing code into Spider. After that the untangling of AS dependencies must happen which probably also entails the removal of service bean usage.
