Nice to see some movement here Stanley! I've been thinking a bit about
this issue, and tried to summarize that here:

Do folks generally agree with this characterization? Does anyone think
I've grossly misstated the situation, or left out anything important?

Hi experts,
As we discussed in the EG, we would like to make JSR 277 interoperable
with other module systems (e.g. OSGi, NetBeans, etc.). We have been
building prototypings to figure out how it should work and to also
validate the overall approach. Since there are many module systems out
there and they are all implemented very differently (there are also
multiple OSGi implementations), it requires us to build more than a
few prototypes and the whole process takes time.
The good news is that we now have a prototype that allows JSR 277
modules to interoperate with OSGi bundles in certain degrees, and
another prototype that enables interoperation with Maven. I'm in the
process of sorting out the details with the development team so we
could have a strawman for this EG to discuss soon.
