I think having multiple launchers is reasonable.
Would this launcher also address the need being discussed to have a
launcher for our HTTP service impl?
Just a brief glance at the SVN repo shows that this launcher is a lot
bigger than Felix' default launcher.
While it is completely fine if the two launchers are completely
separate, it might nice if the default launcher could be made into a
common base, if possible. Again, not necessary, though, if it just
doesn't make sense.
As far as taking over maintenance, well, I assume you Day guys aren't
going anywhere and would be pitching in on it still, right? And it
sounded like Sten and perhaps a couple others are interested in such a
launcher too, so hopefully that wouldn't be an issue.

Hi all,
Based on the discussion going on on the Users list about providing a
default web application launcher [1] proposed by Justin Edelson, I have
started a discussion on the Sling developers list on their general
opinion to move the launcher (called launchpad/base in Sling) over to
the Felix project [2].
The result of the discussion basically is, that the Sling community
would be ok with a transfer of the launcher to Felix.
My question to discuss right now is: What is the general opinion of the
Felix community to eventually take over the Sling launchpad/base [3]
module as a generic loader for standalone and web application
environments over to the Apache Felix project ?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Regards
Felix
