+1 to the plan.

Just one small nitpicking comment, we should say "3.0 will *most  
probably* use OSGI" - as you said, it's a nice goal to have but I  
don't think we're 100% positive on that yet, there are still a few  
unknowns.



I agree wholeheartedly... I am not 100% sure that OSGI is the 
perfect  solution. AFAICS it's a little bit too cumbersome for my brain.

And I know a lot of others share my concerns (from discussions at 
the  GT).

Any specific concerns about OSGi?


For me, licensing. As for technical matters, I stopped caring when we 
killed Avalon.

We can't ship until a OSGi R4 implementation is available, which means 
probably waiting for Felix to finish the implementation *and* exit 
incubation. That might take some time.

Or use Eclipse, which is R4 already, and then switch to Felix when it 
matures sufficiently.
