Tibco BusinessWorks 6.0 is coming

ActiveMatrix application server concept has failed as a product and Tibco is changing its focus back to BW. BW 6.0 at the component level will be OSGI based and will allow for custom plugins via stable and well defined interface. No hacking, no Java glue - you will be able to easily deliver needed functionalities. Adapters are gone, they are replaced by Java-based plugins. SAP activities will run at the component level (ouch, possible licensing issues). BW 6.0 beta is going through QA tests - it should be available by the end of year. BW 5.x will be long term supported.
