Yep, the ANTSv2.0 prerelease includes a zip file "jnodeos.zip" that
contains the Janos Java NodeOS from today's snapshot.

Depends on where your changes are.  If most of your changes are in the
Java NodeOS (vs. ANTSR), then I think today's snapshot would be a good
migration step.  Currently ANTS 2.0 simply runs on the Java NodeOS
snapshot released today.  That should still be true when we release
ANTS 2.0 (all the changes should be entirely within ANTS).

If more of your changes are in the ANTSR end of things, you might just
wait for ANTS v2.0.

Cool.  Even if you decide to hold off on using this snapshot, I think
you guys should look at the split of "pure java" and "moab"
implementations in the NodeOS.  Ideally, you'll be able to add an
"amp" back-end without too much difficulty.  If that isn't possible,
I'd like to know what we can do make it work.
