Congratulations! Great job, well done. Thank you, Steve, Oren, Barry, David and Laurent!

Personally, I was waiting a long time for a pure Java port for easier J2EE integration, 
but could not offer the time to do it. Now we can proceed to integrate QuickFIX/J into JBoss.

We have already started using QuickFIX/J for development (from CVS) and it works like a 
charm. (Otherwise, we are happy to use the bugtracker ;-)

Eventually, we also will use it for production. But first there will be a longer testing 
period. I would love to hear Barry Kaplans experiences in QuickFIX/J's usage for real trading.

Looking forward to the first major release...

Cheers, Jörg
