Hi,
  First let me say, love the Spring framework, really, really good stuff.

  I couldn't find a better place to submit this, but I think I came up with a new usage of Spring as a platform for lightweight plug-ins. I actually got an article published about it (http://www.devx.com/Java/Article/31835). I'd like to submit the code to the Spring project.

  We use the approach described in the article in my current project to dynamically assemble our app and it works great.
