I really think you should make this clear. We're a Java shop, but we use all sorts of frameworks; play, spring, homegrown, but they all build to .war.

This is an interesting product to me, but from the marketing material it's not obvious...

I agree and I'm working with marketing folks to make this stuff more clear. There are just so many details to get a release like this out the door that some things didn't get as much attention as they deserved. But your point is well taken and I'll try to get the message cleared up as it is pretty cool IMHO.

Also look for some more technical deep dive blog posts on my blog by tomorrow at http://brainspl.at where I will clarify a bunch of this stuff.(right after I get some sleep;)

Which would mean that Clojure apps would qualify as well - now that might be interesting. We're running our apps on Amazon EC2 right now, managing Redis ourselves.

Maybe you should mention Grails, after all, VMware does own it.
