Is the design for an app that take advantage of CDM framework to be an OSGi
bundle?
Is it not possible to expose APIs/hooks from the CDM framework and allow
devs to "deploy a CDM app" option from the UI? That to me make more sense
because we don't expose OSGi runtime to end developers. Unless they
deliberately want to play at that level.
Or may be we can have a generic "create carbon OSGi bundle" thing from DevS
and extend that to support CDM app. Thoughts?
