Yes this is in my opinion a giant step in software assembly. I was a big fan of OSGi but until now it was missing a good container.
But the biggest advance in my opinion is the OBR module. This is the end of the bundle import madness... This mean you can now update your bundle without having to verify before deploying if all the supporting bundles are available. This is a big step in the direction of component based software development.

Hopefully once the MicroKernel has a real release, that gets mirrored to the Apache and Maven global repos, things should settle down a bit & these problems should go away. > Anyway, this seems a *VERY* exciting project, I myself was building an OSGi > kernel that looked pretty much the same.

Have you spotted it supports expanded bundle format; so you can edit the spring XML inside a bundle and it hot-redeploys? :). I'm really liking the shells too; we might wanna create some kinda Camel shell for running in the ServiceMix MicroKernel... -- James ------- http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source Integration http://open.iona.com
