Hi Steve,

the Ice supported languages are not supported by OMERO?
OMERO provides a layer on top of the code-generated ice classes to make working with our model (somewhat) easier. Without the necessary OMERO-code generation, it's not possible to use, say, ruby or .NET.
Has anybody experience of writing C++ components and integrating them on the server side?
There should be no barrier to writing components in C++, and they will look much like those in other languages. Everything outside of the Java server with the PostgreSQL connection is considered a client, so there are a number of examples you can look at.
The main barrier will be that some helper functions have not yet been written in C++, but we'd certainly be very keen to help provide anything you may need.
What are you looking to integrate server side?
Cheers,
