I think a little history is in order. My recollection is that in both cases there was a solution generated that addressed something that Sun either was not addressing (SWT -> performance, OSGI->Modularity, class path issues, etc). or was not prioritizing high enough for folks that were trying to adopt Java for commercial usage. In the case of the two module systems, I believe a major complaint that the OSGI camp had was that in the initial working group they were not invited to participate. if you want to engage someone and get their support, best way to do it is to make the solution part of their problem to solve and engage them for the concerns they may have with what appears to be a parallel effort (which appeared to them as an attempt to damage, hurt the effort they had engaged in).
