I would like to thank the whole Camel and Karaf team, especially Guillaume Nodet, Achim Nierbeck, Jamie Goodyear, Ioannis Canellos, Claus Ibsen, and all the others. We are a great team, and you do a great job.

I would also like to thank my wife, Lucile, who accepted that I spent some nights on this book.
