Dear Anthony,
We should definitely upgrade DRMAA jar, next release well be using the 
new version.

I don't think that bundling DRMAA in the common/lib/ would make any 
difference in this case. You would have the conflict you mentioned in 
the tracker anyway. AFAIK if you always bundle inside the webapp you 
library, you should also be able to use two different version of a lib 
with two different webapp.

opal2/ -> using DRMAA version X
someotherapp/ -> using DRMAA version Y

Our mailing list (CCed) is the best way to reach Opal developers.

If you want to send us the code, we will take a look at it. Since we 
just released Opal 2, it might take a while before we modify the WSDL 
again, but we'd like to check out your work.

Opal applications are untyped because we wanted to have the same WSDL 
hence the same client stubs (simplicity was one of our main concern).

We are very glad to hear that other people are using it!!
