Linas Congrats on first java project ever!
CloudStack supports custom pluggable APIs that you dont have to bake into code base - unless you feel many other users will benefit from it. We do it all the time and i'm sure many others orgs do the same... Search the web for CloudStack custom API, there is a baked in example for creating custom API plugin and get time date from Management Server.. Also, this thread is a good example: https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@cloudstack.apache.org/msg55559.html I recall there was a doc that explained it in greater detail, but i havent had a chance to look for it.
