Hey all,

This is something we wanted to do for a long time, but never got started as far 
as i know. With some time on my hands i've made some progress on this. I just 
pushed the branch vmwaresdk-to-vijava to git. In this branch i've changed the 
poms to use the vijava library (version 5.1) and i've started fixing all 
resulting compile errors.

It is not a complete drop in replacement, but apparently just enough to make it 
work with a few changes. The major issues i've encountered so far by working my 
way through VmwareResource.java are
 * changes to enums, slightly different naming convention for the values
 * vijava used arrays where vmware sdk uses lists
 * changes names of exceptions.

I've fixed all compile issues in VmwareResource.java at the moment and i will 
keep at it. If somebody want to pitch in, feel free. Just pick a file with 
compile errors and fix it :-)

So far i've not focussed on the potential benefits of the vijava library, let's 
get it compiling first so we can do some testing with the new library.

Is anybody planning some major work on the vmware stuff in CS? If you do, 
please let me know, so we can coordinate otherwise this will be a bother to 
merge into master eventually. ;-)

Cheers,

Hugo
