Hi Devs, First phase of the implementation plan is to use axis2-kernel, axis2-adb and create the org.apache.axis2.osgi_<version>.jar bundle, which will salvage some existing code from current Axis2 OSGi implementation. New implementation will include the activator, builders, and most importantly AxisConfigurator. I will package legacy jars as bundles and use the existing bundles, which will be fully operational in Equinox. Will provide you with the working sample asap.
I wanted to write the activator and stuff to axis2-kernel and axis2-adb itself. But for the first step lets provide this as an extension. Thank you!
