The WBEM Services project is an effort to develop an open-source Java™ implementation of Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) suitable for commercial and non-commercial application. This project consists of APIs, server and client applications and tools. The APIs are based on Java Specification Request (JSR) 48 which has been submitted for approval by the Java Community Process (JCP) 2.0.

Take a look at the WBEM Services SourceForge Project Page too.

JSR48 Finalization

The JSR48 Expert Group is working to get the specification finalized. Then current goal is to have the spec done by the end of 2005. The WBEM Services code is evolving with the spec. If anyone would like to join the Expert Group please let Jim Davis know. Now start sending comments about the API to the development mailing list so that we can discuss them.
