Hello Avalon developers, recently a new Eclipse project started to discuss and develop strategies for their runtime configuration (http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/index.html). The Eclipse team faces currently major problems with all the several plugins unsing different versions of the same archives having interdependencies. Also the complete plugin management and the component distribution is under discussion.
While they first looked for an OSGi (http://www.osgi.org/) implementation, that would cover a lot of their problems, they had to realize that this free standard does not guarantee, that all elements of it may be free of any patent royaltees. Looking at the broad range of Avalon I am quite sure, that Avalon has a lot to offer in this context too, but I do not feel competent enough to present Avalon in any ongoing discussion at their newsgroup. May be one of you is interested in this, since I could imagine that the usage ov Avalon technology in Eclipse would give Avalon a lot of awareness and would help to bring the complete development forward.
