New version of GraniteDS 1.1 was released yestarday. Granite is an open source alternative to LCDS/BlazeDS Adobe products. It introduces several cool features and the one I like most is Tide framework that allows very tight integration with JBoss Seam framework which runs on the server side. Future versions will also support Spring and EJB3 on similar level as Seam is currently.

Also brand new Granite Eclipse Builder was released, it is very handful eclipse plugin that can generate AS3 classes based on Java Entity beans.
