Re: [equinox-dev] Re: Embedding Equinox OSGi and EclipseStarter

[Thomas Watson <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is an item that we (Equinox) would
like to focus on for OSGi R5 along with Richard Hall (Apache Felix) and
others.  In general there is a need to provide a standard way to hook
into and add functionality to an existing Framework implementation.  If
we could do this in a general and standard way then we can try to keep
the core Framework impl small and only add additional functionality as
needed in a standard way without "baking" it into the Framework
implementation.

This would be a great area for standardization within
a future OSGI spec. Standardization of how you embed, host, and interact
with an OSGi framework etc. I think people are finding this more and more
useful and will be then coming up against the same issues that have been
talked about here a few times lately.

Wow, this is excellent documentation. Thank you.

Yes, that one, and perhaps the BundleWatcher interface. I'll try
implementing with these this afternoon and report back how I fare.
