+1 for moving SMX Kernel to Felix and also for the name. I'm just wondering about the following: SMXK comes with its one, very nice/powerful shell: gshell and quote a lot of effort is there to implement OSGi and services related shell commands. Very good guys. But now there is another shell at felix which again has its own commands. More Peter Kriens donated his own shell implementation which was used to prototype RFC132. So, isn't there to many shells? I think from the user perspective will be good if they are familiar with the shell regardless they use Felix or SMK shell. More, writing commands shall not be a duplicate effort, something for felix shell and something for SMXK. Personally I would like a combination between gshell and PeterK work.
