[jbosstools-dev] JSR-77 Summary

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Hi JBoss AS guys,

Here is another area tooling could need some help from the runtime...

We are looking at finding a way to introspect AS and have some basic 
*remote* control over the deployed modules.

Could you guys give some insight to Rob and the rest of us ?

Is JSR-77 supported ? Will it be in EAP 5 ?
JSR-288 had similar issues earlier - are they fixed ? will they be fixed ?

What are the alternatives, if any ?
