Guess if you directly use JBoss libraries (other than Hibernate ;-) that 
is not desirable.

I cannot completely follow what is wrong with EJB vs. Spring?

I appreciate Spring and use it where it makes sense, too, but from a 
standard and vendor neutral point of view EJB can be considered more 
neutral than Spring.

The only reason could be e.g. a more lightweight approach or trying to 
get the server components work on systems without EJB (like Tomcat, 
Jetty,...) ?

EclipseCon is too far, but some of you also seem to be at Eclipse Forum 
Europe, where I represent the Babel Project.

Would be great, to meet there.
Are you planning some F2F meetings around EFE, for people interested in 
contribution, etc.? Of course I'd also be more than happy to discuss how 
Babel could help localization of OFMP the Eclipse way...
