Couple of comments inline but in general I get the impression there is
interest in taking this further?
Yes, so far I've only seen positive responses!
I'll assume yes and start work to
make a partially cleaned up branch available as an issue. I say
partially as I can easilly remove the runtime integration as it is a
stand alone module and it is the only part that depends explicitly on
newton. If sigil gets accepted we can think about how best to replace
this for general osgi runtimes. I may remove the SCA bit now - but
won't go overboard as this is a bit more entangled vs being it's own
module (we can tidy this up in the medium term should it be an issue).
Ok.
- Version Policies [...]
I've been talking with a couple of people who are doing more
research into
the automated versioning of OSGi bundles, doing all kinds of bytecode
analysis to determine the scope of changes. Again, for the longer
term it
would be nice if tools like these could be integrated (if only to
validate
if the version numbers you stuck on your packages and bundles are
correct,
based on the policy you use).
As I say I know the PDE guys have done something already in this area
- perhaps if we can convince them to make it into a stand alone
library would save some reinvention...
Yes, they have a system that does this, but some of the research I'm
talking about takes this some steps further. Oh well, that's probably
something worth discussing in the future.
can apache projects link to
eclipse licenced projects?
As far as I know, yes.
Greetings, Marcel
