Hey guys,
Kirby, thanks for all the insightful information! I couldn't comment
much as most of
the stuff went right over my head :) (don't know much about OSGI).
Andrzej, would OSGI make creating plugins easier? One of the things
that bug me most
about our plugin system is the xml files that need to be created for
every plugin. These files have to be written manually and nutch
doesn't report errors very good here so this process is extremely
error-prone. Do you have something in mind for making this part any
simpler?
I don't think this will become much simpler, just different. OSGI
descriptors (not sure yet if we will go with extensions or dynamic
services) can be much more complex that our plugin descriptors, but I
think that in practice we would use a well-defined subset.
