Nothing like a good enterprisey buzz word like "cloud" to put in your fresh marketing cup of Coffee each morning (oops…I meant Java) ;-)

So calling "Java EE 7" "cloudish" is probably as valid or credible as claiming that "JSR 350 - State Management" was a pillar of it (while in reality it should play an important role for EE 8 and beyond<329.gif>)

Agorava which as mentioned could be seen more in the tradition of Hibernate or Arquillian (all started in the Open Source community, some, like Hibernate later at least partly contributed to Java standards like JPA or EJB3) has a little over a dozen https://github.com/agorava?tab=members and roughly 7-10 actually do contribute code (not all from a single company<347.gif>)
