Good to hear that, Steve! We want to use QuickFIX inside JBoss, but 
where a bit concerned about the JNI part. So I would like to support any 
steps in the direction of a standalone Java version.

Yes, the Wiki is a good place to discuss porting issues. On the web page 
I can currently see Brian Danylkiw besides Oren and me taking part in 
the discussion. Feel free to take part in the discussion, add new 
question, restructure the page etc.

In addition, I would suggest to have a separate module in the QF CVS to 
have the ported code in one place? Oren, what do you think?

Cheers, Jörg
