[news.eclipse.technology.ercp] Re: eRCP and JSR 232

["David Beers" <subscriber@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure if I understand what you meant by "whether the 232 runtime had 
the appropriate container."  I thought OSGi *was* the container, i.e the 
thing that controls the lifecycle of all of the bundles.

I get your point about the UI API, though.  The cross-platform aspect 
doesn't come from OSGi, it comes from there being eSWT ports.
