Current development however, takes place on heiko-braun/as7-console. Stable milestones will be merged upstream infrequently.

h3. Goals

- Deliver consistent user experience across products
- Aim for a conceptual model that represents the semantics/intentions of the domain model
- Share authentication with other management API entry points
- Manage both domain and standalone scenarios
- Provide extension points to layered products
- Remain lightweight and minimize dependencies
h3. 
h3. Requirements

- Provide management operations for all subsystems
- Allow remote deployment
- Manage user and groups that access the management infrastructure
- Support i18n

h3. Design Considerations

- Core UI Abstraction: MVP
(See  http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16462 ManagementConsolePatterns)

- How does authentication work from the console?
(See  http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16447 ManagementAPISecurityDesign)


h3. Implementation Choices

-  http://code.google.com/p/smartgwt/ SmartGWT (used by JON already)

-  http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/AutoBean AutoBean an option?
Would be nice to avoid having to work overlay types directly.

-  http://restygwt.fusesource.org/ RestGWT might be a good choice
Has a proper service abstraction, plus Json-Java serialization which might be useful
