I think this is a good idea. At the moment there is some duplication
between Blog Sample and other samples like AriesTrader (and even in
multiple places in AriesTrader). It would be great to have at least one
common Equinox assembly (and perhaps a common Felix assembly as well)
that included as much of the core components as possible with some
default implementations (such as OpenJPA, Derby, etc...) which could be
used to host our different samples.
We'd have to make it clear that the assembly is not a production quality
thing and just for running samples and such so that nobody used it in an
inappropriate way.
Also, give that we'd like to use it for multiple samples, I think it
should be named something more generic than "blog-assembly" - perhaps
"samples/assemblies/equinox-assembly" ? Of course, that gets me
wondering again if AriesTrader should be under samples rather than a
peer to samples if it is to exploit this same assembly (which I think it
should).

What about creating a common assembly under samples based on the current
blog-assembly, which would allow users to drop-in the Blog, AriesTrader
or their own wab/eba?
So are you suggesting making blog-assembly a module purely for
building the blog sample assembly - .eba file. Then to have a child
module of samples whose target dir would act as a place to run the
OSGi framework, contain the 'load' dir for samples to be dropped into?
I think it's good to separate these concerns out. So I'm +1 for this
(if it's what you meant :-)

There's been a lot of activity lately so I'd like to propose we do a
release so we can get some wider user feedback. I think we should give
it a version of 0.1 and stick to versions <1 while we're in the
Incubator.
Then there is the question of whether to independently version the
high level modules or keep them lock-step. For now I think we should
keep them lock-step until we feel a need to change that.
What does everyone think?
Thanks,
