Description
===========

Apache ServiceMix is a flexible, open-source integration container that
unifies the features and functionality of Apache ActiveMQ, Camel, CXF and
Karaf to provide a complete, enterprise-ready ESB powered by OSGi.

Issues
======

There are no outstanding issues requiring board attention.

Activity
========

The project focus of Apache ServiceMix is the assembly of the integration
container, the actual functionality is being maintained in related projects
like Apache Karaf, Apache CXF, Apache Camel and Apache ActiveMQ.

- We have released 3 sets of OSGi bundles
- We have refactored the Specs repository to ba able to release each spec
separately
- In the next period we are going to focus on documentation and examples
improvement as it's still outstanding theme. We are also going to focus
on releasing of e new ServiceMix version based on the newest releases of
Apache Karaf and Apache Camel. We should also focus on preparing ServiceMix
for Java 9.
