There's a new AWS Integration project on sourceforge.net. Here are the goals:
The AWS Integration project provides a Java DAO layer to client applications making the Amazon Web Services (AWS) even easier to use, especially for J2EE developers.
Using the integration API, you don't have to work with the web services directly, or even through the Axis generated API, you access the Amazon data seamlessly using simple DAO and JavaBeans.
Qualified developers are invited to join the project and to contribute code. They are planning to cover ECS and AWIS.


Just a quick word from one of the project admins; we'd encourage people to take a look at the project and sign up with the mailing lists, we'd love to hear any comments and would love to get people involved. There's plenty of areas that you can take on as your own.
From a user's perspective, one of the best things about the project is that it works with the different international versions of Amazon, you can use it to receive referrals for the US if your sites viewed in the US, or UK if its viewed in the UK - all seamlessly. Its a big selling point we feel, so come over, drop us a line and get involved, as a user or developer ;)
All the best,
