I agree with the last phrase of the last sentence. But it's
remarkable how
differently we collectively disagree with what "...moving on..."
means! To
some, "moving on" means embracing OSGi, particularly distributed OSGi
(D-OSGi). To others, it means treating OSGi as orthogonal to Jini/
River.
Moving on simply means making forward progress with the project. IMO,
the best way to do that is to continually publish releasees, and build
on what we already have (which btw is an excellent and proven
technology [1]).
Perhaps the best way for you to move forward with OSGi & River, is to
develop a POC that combines OSGi & River, and demonstrate the benefits
and issues that your work addresses.
