As previously promised , I plan to start off writing a client.
The focus will be more on exposing the api exposed and (very) less of the UI.
So , either this code can be used directly to write a more fancy UI layer on top , or it can be used as a tutorial on how to understand and use the api.
Primary focus will be on the latter : hence code will be as clean and readable as possible with copious meaningful comments   (Normally , both of these would be false for my code )
Where is the code going to be ? It will be here at dev.java.net - feel free to join the project !
I have just got the project approved and am a bit busy right now ... so the project is empty as of now - but expect action pretty soon !
The rate of progress would typically be not very fast and this blog will be in sync with it : as a new feature gets implemented , the related code and api would be discussed here.

Next entry : what are the dependencies of the api , how and where do we get them from , how to get and setup the api.
