manually (using OTD methods from the Java Collaboration) for outbound Projects

Deployment Editor now allows you to select multiple components from the Editor’s
component pane, and drop them into your Environment component.

properties now support LDAP key values.

maximum and minimum MDB pool size.

reconnect, and the interval between retry attempts, in the event of a connection
failure.

components using a Collaboration or Business Process.

structures.
