David Bosschaert commented on SHRINKWRAP-242:
---------------------------------------------

Right - so I can see that for OSGi, this static initializer would be set by the shrinkwrap-impl-base bundle once it becomes active. However, there are timing issues with this approach. What happens if the consumer uses SW before it was initialized? 
That's where the service-based approach that I used earlier is nice because it's the *impl* bundle that registers the service. The service registry caters for handling the dependencies and effectively it won't be possible to even find SW in that case before its initialized. The disadvantage of the service base approach is clearly that it requires a service registry of some sort (e.g. jboss-msc, OSGi services or even JNDI).

So yeah I can see that users love the static approach, but we need to find an easy solution that ensures that initialization has happened before any invocation is done...

> Currently there are issues around the use of Shrinkwrap in an OSGi framework. The libraries don't contain the necessary Manifest headers and just adding them causes classloading problems as the TCCL is used during the boot process.
> Shrinkwrap should be usable from within OSGi.
