I think there could be another issue, which I wasn't aware of initially,
in that they introduce some new manifest headers for specifying
dependencies. If they do this for their repository bundles, then it
might not be so useful for us...I am not sure what it means for us, so
it will have to be investigated too.

As I saw, but I did not go to much n detail, the Spring Bundle
Repository is their own bundle repository, meaning that they have a
directory where they and the user can store bundles depending on their
type (normal bundles and PARs). I assume that they parse the metadata
and use it to resolve the needed bundles.
At first I was happy that they are going to use OBR, fact that will
gong to give a boost to OBR but unfortunately they are not. But maybe
yo can convince them to have a plug-able design and be able to switch
or combine with the simple mode they have. My guess that they go for
this approach as is quite simple for the end user to just put a bundle
in a directory and do not edit any xml/metadata.

For those who haven't seen this related announcement to the Spring
Application Platform, they also announced a bundle repository:

Not sure what this means for us with respect to Felix Commons, but it is
something that we should probably investigate in some way.
