New open source Java based API for signal entry is ready for testing.
http://code.google.com/p/c2entry/
It should support all the features at the signal entry documentation site.

If there are future planned updates to the API can someone let me know so I can keep the code up to date. Thanks.
Feel free to recommend other features.
