Hi,
Sorry for the long slack off.OSGi is generally not my field but here are a few comments on what Gunnar and Kevin have said:- we can definitely experiment with Hibernate Validator and offer some OOTB support for OSGi and other modularity solutions.- we can consider the API JAR provided by the RI team and add the OSGi headers if that's the correct solution but I don't feel like adding them in the spec document proper- we should align with what the CDI group does wrt OSGi headers especially since CDI will be an optional dependency of BV- can someone flesh out a more concrete proposal and push it to http://beanvalidation.org/proposals/BVAL-251 ? Kevin do you want to take the lead?
