I just found that Eclipse is moving their component container to OSGi [1]. Avalon was one of the possible candidates, but it seems that only OSGi was seriously considered [2].
OSGi was up to now mostly used in embedded systems (cars, automation), and its adoption by the Eclipse team will promote this platform to many more developpers, particularly in the J2EE world. I'm wondering [3] how this can impact the future of Avalon.
What do you think?
