Using JCloud Compute API with KVM

Question

I want to use jclouds compute api for managing virtual machines virtiualized via KVM hypervisor. AFAIK compute api supports apis like Openstack ,abiquo ,which wraps hypervisor apis. However i want to manage KVM directly like libvirt api. I know in jclouds repository there is sandbox-api , which contains libvirt bindings. However it seems it is not in the main repository and while building the code i get compile error due to version conflicts. I want to know whether there is an offical location for the libvirt bindings in the jcloud repository?

Thanks

The official location for such APIs is jclouds-labs . If that libvirt API were to become part of jclouds, it would need to have a contributor willing to maintain it and be submitted to jclouds-labs initially.
