SpringSource Application Platform: First Impressions

1. Comprehensive and comprehensible documentation
2. Works as advertised
   
3. Everything deploys fine judging by the console output
4. You have to look into the application trace log (serviceability/trace/your-app/trace.log) to find out why your application does not work
5. The configuration directory is called config, the configuration files have .config extension (why not use Linux-standard /conf(.d) and .conf?)
6. The configuration file format is some sort of proprietary flat file thing
7. Couldn't make it run behind Apache web server for some reason
8. I'm back to notepad/vi for my bundle configuration tasks - waiting for S2AP support in MyEclipse
