AFAIU, Existing blocks would run unchanged in the ECM<->OSGi bridge bundle. I think Daniel is talking "real blocks" here, and I think that would require the blocks to have OSGi code in them, at least for the Bundle Activator and ServiceFactory. Of course there is an option to make a Cocoon specific abstraction level on top of the basic OSGi mechanisms, but to me it seems to only hamper the progress, resulting in endless debates of what to expose and not. Put the stick in the ground. Declare "OSGi bundles is the plugin mechanism for Cocoon." Then move from there. :o) Cheers Niclas
