That makes sense to me.

Please also see my new thread on Services just before.

If Spring rather than just OSGi was used for some of those, too, I would 
be very interested in that. Especially for Currency Services I have a 
working Spring based POC (actually based on Stock Trading, but the 
reasons were mainly the legacy of that showcase)

However, at least for Money and maybe parts of Date/Time, I have a 
couple of ideas since many of them don't exist anywhere else in Java, so 
it would be very beneficial if a Service or Component could be as atomic 
and reusable as let's say SWT. To allow a very broad use even in areas 
like Mobile Eclipse or at least Google Android which uses Eclipse and 
SWT a lot in many places, too.

Google has a IoC Framework (Guice), too btw, but as a RI Spring is 
clearly more used.

Looking forward to.
