5 in preference. Though I'd prefer a combination of 2 and 4&5 
(though not specific about it being java).  I.e. freeze current 
Roma, and develop a new Roma which uses a web server for the 
transformation work (and the ODD2Schema work) using whatever 
technologies seem best for that. (Ok, Java probably is a good 
bet, but I wouldn't make it a requirement.) The problem with that 
is there is no funding (I believe?) to finance development on 
these things so the best we could hope for would be something 
like 5 on a best-effort basis.
