the excalibur components are mature, well used and well tested but they predate OSGi. this means that it's difficult for projects who are dependent on excalibor components to jump to OSGi. these components might also a new lease of life since OSGi is currently a little short of some of the basics.
AIUI some other projects have forked and ported some but IMHO it would make more sense to maintain these centrally. in the end, they might end up in felix commons but we could make a start here. this idea is crazy - i know - but if sufficient apache folks are interested and can be granted karma then it's not impossible. see http://markmail.org/thread/24lshugb5rifnwue for more discussion. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
