[equinox-dev] scr, cm, and metatype

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As per bug [1], Equinox and Eclipse are moving to use Felix SCR v2.0.8 
for Oxygen.

My understanding is that the Equinox ConfigAdmin and Metatype 
implementations are rather old now...and don't support OSGi R6 versions 
of those services.

Would it be possible to add Apache Felix of ConfigAdmin and 
Metatype...versions that are at least R6 compatible...to Orbit?

The reason I ask is that a number of projects (e.g. ECF, Kura, Karaf, 
others)...and our/their consumers...use DS+ConfigAdmin+Metatype all 
three together, and having the Equinox versions of these services be so 
old is a problem for them (especially since the spec enhancements over 
last few years have been very significant.

Or, perhaps the right answer is to update these Equinox impls? Not sure.
