Re: [Blue-devel] Blue Neb Module Interface.

[Richard F. <ric...@os...>]

Realize that the system needs to be abstract enough to call something
from the command line.   The key item in making all languages first
class is to NOT use a java interface as the mechanism by which to
integrate things.  If everything plays on the same level, all languages
can integrate the same exact way.  Hence if you write a neb module for
blue it could/might work with nagios. 

Yes we could have an interface and then a command line implementation to
leverage those from nagios.  But why complicate?  Make it simple, dead
simple.  

I realize you lose flexiblity, but you gain decision and forward
movement.
