Thanks. One follow up on EventAdmin. I've read that the Equinox
EventAdmin uses a single thread for dispatch...i.e. for all topics...and
it seems like that's correct given a short glance at the code. And
that there is no way to configure things to (e.g.) use/configure a
thread pool. Is that still true?
Thanks,
Scott
CM and DS both have significant updates in R7, but the spec is not
going to be finalized in time for Oxygen so it will have to way until
the next release. The DS updates are very significant and that is
what motivated me to move to the felix SCR implementation. There
simply was no interest to be found to update the Equinox DS
implementation and it was getting very stale WRT spec levels.
I have not looked at the CM changes in detail for OSGi R7, but I
suspect that should be easily contained in Equinox. Let me know if
anyone is interested in starting a branch to work on CM R7 in the mean
time! And to let folks on this list know again. The Equinox
Framework also continues to be the OSGi RI and ongoing work towards R7
is being done in a branch (twatson/osgiR7). Again this is not planned
to be included in Oxygen because the specification likely will not
complete in time. We could consider it for Oxygen.1 though.

I did update the CM implementation to be CM spec version 1.5 a long
time ago (3 years?). OSGi R6 did not update the CM spec, if I recall
correctly. The spec doc for OSGi R6 still lists CM spec at version
1.5. So from my perspective both of the CM and metatype Equinox impls
are current with R6.
Ok, great...I must have been misinformed about the versions. Same for
EventAdmin?
Also...I heard that there were some proposed CM/DS additions for R7.
Are those to be in Equinox Oxygen or not likely?

As per bug [1], Equinox and Eclipse are moving to use Felix SCR v2.0.8
for Oxygen.
My understanding is that the Equinox ConfigAdmin and Metatype
implementations are rather old now...and don't support OSGi R6 versions
of those services.
Would it be possible to add Apache Felix of ConfigAdmin and
Metatype...versions that are at least R6 compatible...to Orbit?
The reason I ask is that a number of projects (e.g. ECF, Kura, Karaf,
others)...and our/their consumers...use DS+ConfigAdmin+Metatype all
three together, and having the Equinox versions of these services be so
old is a problem for them (especially since the spec enhancements over
last few years have been very significant.
Or, perhaps the right answer is to update these Equinox impls? Not sure.
