This is the first release of the NetIDE App Engine whose architecture is
based on the WINE concept (www.winehq.org) where Microsoft Windows
applications (such as Microsoft Office) can run on top of POSIX
operating systems thanks to the libraries and the APIs provided by WINE.

In a similar way, Ryu (or Floodlight, or others) applications can run on
top of the OpenDaylight (or others) framework thanks to the NetIDE App
Engine modules and APIs.
