JClouds 1.7.0 and CloudStack 4.2.1

[Kasper Grud Skat Madsen <ka...@gmail.com>]

Dear everyone
I am trying to use JClouds 1.7.0 to deploy on CloudStack 4.2.1. My problem
is that the NodeMetadata object returned when launching an instance,
doesn't contain the metadata I provide at launchtime.

Here is the code, I use to launch...

new TemplateOptions()
   .inboundPorts(Tools.getPortsToOpen())
   .userMetadata("daemons", _daemons.toString())
   .runScript(new StatementList(_initScript))
   .overrideLoginCredentials(Tools.getPrivateKeyCredentials(_username))

.authorizePublicKey(Tools.getPublicKey())).build()

Here is what is returned in the NodeMetadata object...

Shouldn't the NodeMetadata object also contain the metadata? ... I use the
same code to deploy on Amazon EC2, and there it will contain the
NodeMetadata.

According to the live test [1] - always a good place to look for  
jclouds functionality - CloudStack doesn't support metadata. At least,  
it probably didn't in the version that the jclouds API was written  
for? If that has changed since then, it looks like an item that we  
should address as part of
