There is this concept of OBR - OSGi bundle repository. For example, Oscar<http://oscar-osgi.sourceforge.net/>and the OSGi site has one <http://www.osgi.org/Repository/HomePage>. I'm not sure yet if this OBR concept is just for local stuff (it says "federated") or if there is going to be some kind of master/top authority from which to delegate, i.e., like how DNS works (in fact, no reason the DNS system could be used as a way to locate repositories, e.g., "_osgibundlerepository.domain.com"). -Archie -- Archie L.
