The plugin has many useful features to enable you to work with the different project types available in JBI - such as Components, Service Assemblies, Service Units and Shared Librarys - and also allows you to work interact with a running Apache ServiceMix server by exposing the JSR-208 Ant Tasks as plugin goals.
