As part of Elastic Grid project commitment to provide a cloud virtualization layer, the Elastic Grid team was in need of a Java API which would drive the Rackspace Cloud Servers API. This Java API is now available as a separate bundle in the Elastic Rack project.

This open-source project aims to provide Java APIs to the Rackspace Cloud APIs so that Java developers can easily call Rackspace APIs. As of today, there is only experimental support for Cloud Servers API.

The project is hosted on Google Code at: http://elastic-rack.googlecode.com. The issues tracker is available on Jira at: http://jira.elastic-grid.com/browse/ER.
