Thanks for that explanation Mike. Not knowing much of OSGi, I was trying to be a bit conservative. Now convinced, here is my +1 for this inclusion. - Venkat On 7/6/07, Mike Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Venkat, I'm in favour of adding OSGi metadata to relevant jars to enable them to act

Hello, Could we convert sca-api.jar to an OSGi bundle so that bundles used by the OSGi implementation type can import SCA annotations and interfaces? This may be already being addressed in the other OSGi related work, but the change is simple and will enable the support for SCA annotations in

Venkat, I'm in favour of adding OSGi metadata to relevant jars to enable them to act as OSGi bundles. I think that OSGi is in a different space than other runtimes and that supporting it is a good idea. Other comments inline... Yours, Mike Venkata Krishnan wrote: Hi, This seems ok
