Re: [forge-dev] Forge 2.0 and OSGi

Hello, I've been done some thinking and researching for Forge 2.0 based on the last forge meeting we had and the current code in the 2.0 branch, and it seems that the architecture we're looking for is very close to OSGi architecture itself (regarding to plugability and modularity). I'm also afraid that we'll face the same problems that OSGi tries to solve. As my current experience with OSGi is next to minimal (and probably to better understand why and have some arguments if someone asks me about it), I would like some opinions about the advantages/disadvantages of why not having the Forge container as an OSGi compliant solution. Also, don't get me wrong: I am not trying to convince anyone of using OSGi into the forge core, just want to understand better why this architecture is not a viable solution so far. I know Lincoln is against using it, but I just want some arguments in case someone asks me in conferences and stuff :) Of course, we need to keep using CDI and annotations as well. So if it's possible to have that and at the same time the modularity (and plugability) offered by OSGi, it would be awesome. Looking forward for your answers !
