One difficulty I am having with 6.0a1 is the new GrapeEngine service loader. A class loader is passed into Grape.grab (within GrabAnnotationTransformation). But this class loader is ignored by the internal call to GrapeEngine.getInstance. Neither the class loader for Grape.class nor the context class loader will find GrapeIvy in my Equinox/OSGi environment. I'll have to look at the old code and see how it resolved to GrapeIvy. I think it was more direct.
