Anshul, I had assumed that if you were doing this based on Murali's event framework, it would not be architected on an adapter in the alert manager but as a subscriber to his event framework. Has this been discussed? If so, why not subscribe to event framework?
Also, I like to have the following asserted in the FS. - It is a separate project from CloudStack core - It only depends on cloud-utils and cloud-api jars for compile.
