Gilbert Pilz commented on CAMP-175:
-----------------------------------

I don't know what it means to "prefer the service entry point". From my frame of reference a service is something that an application needs in order to function. The Vitaminder application needs a Java Servlet container and a SQL database. The Vitaminder application is made up of a WAR file and a SQL file. Where do I put this information if all I have are "service entry points"?

> Some people we've talked to find the "artifacts" entry point for the plan confusing. Personally I like it and IMHO it *should* become the standard way to do things.
> But right now people mostly seem to be building things up and so the "services" entry point is preferred -- look at how docker/fig/compose do it, and cloud foundry, and apache brooklyn.
> To simplify we could remove all mention of "artifacts" or make them optional.
> Or not ... this is just something to be aware of.
