The Apache Camel project now provides a QuickFIX/J connector.

I had a great opportunity to participate with Marketcetera's Graham Miller, Tim O'Reilly and others on a panel at the O'Reilly Money:Tech conference. The panel discussed the use of open source software in the financial community. My impression is that there was positive response from the Wall Street crowd. There seems to be keen interest in open standards and related open source implementations.
