Re: [kura-dev] Apache Felix SCR in Equinox Oxygen

["Lewis, ScottX" <scottx.lewis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jens,

Yes, Equinox and Eclipse have moved to SCR 1.3 for Oxygen.  

In addition, I have suggested on this bug:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=376950#c46

that it would be desirable to add support for SCR 1.3 to the PDE DS annotations, and possibly add support for metatype as well.

Subject: [kura-dev] Apache Felix SCR in Equinox Oxygen

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to point you to some important information.

Equinox Oxygen (the next version) will drop the Equinox DS implementation. [1] That doesn't really come unexpected. And they will replace it with Apache Felix SCR.

So the good news is that we will have OSGi DS 1.3 in this case, finally. However this also means that we will face the same issues we have right now with Karaf, as Karaf also uses Apache Felix SCR.

I think that after Kura 3 is released, we should soon begin to get Kura in shape for this so that we can provide an updated version which finally brings in OSGi DS 1.3.

What do you think?

Cheers

Jens
