In case you thought the SCA rock stopped rolling...

I'm very pleased to announce to this community that we have made active the first beta of the newly re-based Feature Pack for Service Component Architecture for WAS V7.0! My team has been killing themselves, slaving away using new agile processes, keeping on top of the latest WAS builds to bring you this technology on the new WAS! To sweeten the pot for some of you out there, and you know who you are, we are even offering the feature pack beta in a popular VMWARE distribution which is configured to run a SUSE Linux guest with the SCA Feature Pack and WAS V7.0 betas pre-canned and ready for you to play with. Our development and beta teams are excited to engage all of you SOA application developers out there-- welcome!

Beta details here. Of course, our code is based on the Tuscany open source project which I've blogged about before.

I want to thank all of my development and beta team members for all of their hard work.
