Chris, one or two OSGi zealots make some noise and you immediately insinuate that 'the java community is self destructing'? Don't you realize that's kinda insulting?
Whatever community you're part of now, if I had your attitude, I'd fight to the DEATH to keep it niche and trivial, because the moment you book al little success, you're going to have to move on to the next thing. Opinions and controversy happen, especially on the internet, and especially to communities larger than, say, 20 people. Not everyone is good at dealing with this, but blaming a community for containing loud-mouths is disingenuous. NB: In the spirit of Dick's post, I'll refrain from commenting on OSGi or jigsaw.
