Re: [infinispan-dev] help with Infinispan OSGi
Brett, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t there a difference in making some library *work*
in an OSGi environment and making that library *naturally fit well* in an OSGi-enabled
application? For example, making the JAR’s be OSGi bundles is easy and technically makes
it possible to deploy a JAR into an OSGi env, but that’s not where the payoff is. IIUC
what you really want is a BundleActivator or Declarative Services [1] so that the
library’s components are readily available in a naturally-OSGi way.

Thanks for offering to look into this Brett!
We're already producing OSGi bundles for our modules, but these are not tested
extensively so if you'd review them and test them a bit would be great!
Tristan can get you up to speed with this.

I'm definitely interested in helping, if it's still a need. This past year, I
went through the exercise of making Hibernate work well in OSGi, so all of challenges
(read: *many* of them) are still fairly fresh on my mind. Plus, I'd love for
hibernate-infinispan to work in OSGi.
