[Luciano Resende <lr...@apache.org>]

The Apache Tuscany team are delighted to announce the 1.2 release of
the Java SCA project.

Apache Tuscany provides a runtime environment based on the Service
Component Architecture (SCA). SCA is a set of specifications aimed at
simplifying SOA application development. These specifications are
being standardized by OASIS as part of the Open Composite Services
Architecture (Open CSA).

The Tuscany SCA Java 1.2 release adds a number of features including:
   * An improved SCA distributed domain support with an SCA Domain
Manager application
   * Support for running Tuscany in a OSGI runtime using Apache Felix
   * Support for JAXWS annotations
   * improved and simplified JMS binding
   * Improved support for SCA Policies and a new Policy provider SPI
   * Support for 'native' Groovy component implementation classes
   * Atom binding now using Apache Abdera
   * A new Eclipse plugin providing a Tuscany runtime Library and
Tuscany launcher in Eclipse environment.

Tuscany is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Web services PMC. Incubation
is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review
indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making
process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful
ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection
of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that
the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
