I'm trying to follow what you guys are saying, because it sounds very interesting. I might be misunderstanding what the Geronimo Kernel is exactly. If I understand this correctly, ie. the kernel provides services, won't it make it difficult to then "replace" the kernel? If the kernel is a bundle, it can be uninstalled/reinstalled, and provide it's services? Similar to other OSGi environments, ex. Eclipse IDE. The OSGi environment loads the IDE core as a bundle. Eclipse IDE core isn't the OSGi. The actual "OSGi" in OSGi implementations is merely the engine for managing/loading/activating bundles and services, and if you keep to the spec should be nothing more than this? Q
