Introduction

Being such a feature rich and rapidly growing implementation of an Enterprise Services Bus (ESB) it is important to begin working on a managment console as soon as possible. The reasons for this are as follows:

• It will lower the barrier to entry for users starting out with ServiceMix
• A graphical representation of the configuration file will reduce the chance of misconfiguration
• Lets face it people like pushing buttons

This document will outline the overall goals of the managment console as well as detailing the each section of it and how it will work.
