Hi Ian and Andy,
I use some third party libraries, most of all are licensed with Apache

License v2 (it should be compliant with EPL) and the remaining
(slf4j-api and slf4j-log4j12) has a special license
(https://github.com/qos-ch/slf4j/blob/master/slf4j-api/LICENSE.txt)
that I don't know if it's EPL compliant but I expect so.
The third party libs are:
APLv2 commons-logging-1.1.jar
APLv2 disruptor-2.7.1.jar
APLv2 hawtbuf-1.9.jar
APLv2 hawtdb-1.6.jar
APLv2 log4j-1.2.17.jar
APLv2 netty
*custom license slf4j-api-1.7.5.jar
*custom license slf4j-log4j12-1.7.5.jar

be a big plus for Moquette be OSGi compliant, exposing some activities
(or services) to be managed by other modules, so moving in the
direction to integrate with Eclipse workbench the most fruitful step
could be to provide a valid OSGi descriptor in the broker's jar.
About the authentication side I was thinking to provide an SPI and let

other modules give the implementation, maybe using JAAS or JSecurity
that seems more manageable (I don't know the details because I've
always experienced web security with Spring Security).
