Yes, I know that AS needed a release of ARQ before ARQ was ready for alpha-5.

Perhaps some additional layering will be necessary to tack on OSGi-specific stuff that shouldn't be in ARQ core, and we should handle that too. But long-term, AS is going to need a version of ARQ that's not forked off current development so that we can do drop-in-place upgrades.

Hi Andrew, the ARQ fork (https://github.com/jbosgi/arquillian/tree/jbosgi) exists since we looked at using ARQ for OSGi testing (Sep-2010). It was intended to be short lived feature branch like any other. The various pull requests to get OSGi support upstream never went through however. This is for one reason or another that we don't need to go into.

I'm more than happy to work with you to get this silly ARQ-SP issue resolved. A good starting point would be to copy the test cases in the osgi embedded container upstream. They should cover the complete set of functionality that we need. Another good source of information are the ARQ Jira issues that I created/resolved. There are also a number of elaborate forum posts (pull requests) that I can dig up for you if needed. In case you find a change that is not well documented and reasoned about, please let me know - I'll explain and fix the docs.

Don't revert. We need this for server stability. [1] It doesn't impact the Arquillian API in any way.
