[jboss-dev-forums] [Design the new POJO MicroContainer] - Re: OSGi integration

[alesj]

I would like to pull the OSGi module out of the Microcontainer project into separate project (as Scott did with VFS) under 'https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/osgi'. Why?

I went over the r4 spec and Spring's OSGi integration - and this is probably really the same thing we want to have. What's really important is that Spring's OSGi spec (http://www.springframework.org/osgi/specification) was  influenced a lot by the same people (core OSGi EG members) that we are also  involved with - so doing something totally different doesn't make sense.
Ok, the two impls would look a lot the same (if somebody has a problem with this, let me know), but I don't think we are here to reinvent the wheel. We are basically trying to put a good spec onto MC's behaviour.
And with this similar OSGi approach and our (almost) ready Spring XML schema support, I think we would offer users / developers a good option of choosing what they want to use - full app. server or simple IoC container.

Our OSGi project would be (similar to Spring's) divided into different modules. These are the one's that I currently have in mind:
 - core (integration with MC)
 - starter [extender] (Activator bundle)
 - test
 - examples [samples]
 - services (optional impl of OSGi services on top of our architecture - log, security, ...)
