Hi Nicolas,

Ok no response on this, but I've decided to update the file in any
case. Richard H pointed me at the
$felix-svn/framework/src/main/resources/default.properties file that
includes basically the same information as jvm-packages.properties.
This includes a version attribute which I think will be useful later,
so I've scrapped the previous contents of jvm-packages.properties and
gone with this new format.

You should find this file (with associated ASL header) here:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felix/trunk/sigil/common/core/profiles/jvm-packages.properties

Out of interest I believe bushel and sigil are providing similar
capabilities - sigil has a mapping of OSGi meta data into an ivy
resolution - however the way we go about it looks quite different to
what bushel (does/proposes?). We perform import package resolution
using an OSGi resolver outside of ivy and then synthesis ivy modules
at runtime, I believe bushel is intending on pushing the meta
information into ivy.xml files and then use the standard ivy resolver.
Not saying either approach is right/wrong I think it'd be great if
there is any useful collaborations we can build once you're setup on
apache - let me know?

Regards,

Dave
