If you would like us to integrate,
test, and document another piece of Java-based software into
the architecture, please let us know by sending email to obox-software @ ejbsolutions.com.
Although we would love to integrate all the good code out
there, time restrictions will likely limit us to only the
most popular and stable projects.
