Forget about OSGi for now, its a red herring for River moving out of
incubation, and frankly a bit of noise that produces the same reaction
every time it is posted. This is not to say the each technology
(combined or separate) does not have its merits/issues, its just time
to move on.
How about AR2 gets released? Take the current project structure and
tests, and release what you have. I think its a safe bet to say that
the trunk represents a stable production worthy technology (AR1
certainly is). If there is more wok to do with the testing framework,
fine. Then release AR3 shortly there-after. I'll be glad to upload the
package name changes from com.sun.jini to org.apache.river as well if
the timing is right post AR2.

Gregg, I say you do something with Jini and OSGi. :-) Seriously,
what
about a semantic LUS? Build a way to query for Services using
Semantic
technologies like RDF and SPARQL. Or use Jini to manage distributed
OSGi
bundles (RDF 119 is Distributed OSGi). Or build an AJAX front-end for
lifecycle management of Jini federations and services.
Just some thoughts.

Does it matter? Apart from the the test suite there currently is no
active work being done on River trunk. Anyone with the energy to back
up his or her proposals with solid patches gets to decide where River
is going. If others don't agree, they'll need to come up with
alternative patches that solve the same issues.
So, I'm setting back, waiting for something to start rolling that
I am
interested in, and I'll jump in to assist as best I can, as I am
needed.
That's the wrong attitude. Just get started and others will follow!
At
Apache those who do, decide.
