Hi Benedikt,

I did use Declarative Services in the past.

However my observation is that DS
- is currently not part of Equinox but only in the Incubator area. (not sure but I think that is still true)
- lacks any editor for the XML descriptive files (which makes it hard to use)
- is pretty hard to debug (since incorrect XML files will most of the times, do nothing without error message)

For that reason I think its easier to tell people to use OSGi Services using the API. No question is DS
the way to go.

Are you currently using DS a lot ?

cheers
