I think it would be interesting, assuming that there would be ongoing
development of it. Do you plan to continue to work on it to fill the gaps?

Is there interest in an implementation of the OSGi Initial Provisioning
1.2 service? AFAICT, there is none in Apache Felix. Over the past few
days, I've written a clean-room implementation that I could donate to
Felix if there's interest. The implementation runs on J2SE-1.4, the test
suite on J2SE-1.6 (due to Pax Exam).
There are a few gaps still but it already seems to do the job in my case:
- rsh and https protocols are not supported, yet. Only file and http.
- InitialProvisioning-Entries manifest header is not yet interpreted.
Only ZIP extra fields and file extensions are used to determine the
entry type.
- There's no guard against endless recursions that might happen with
poorly designed ZIP chains.
- I'm currently using my own Ant-based build system. A Maven POM would
have to be written by someone who knows what he's doing. ;-)
I'll gladly post the source code for review if there's interest. Let me
know.
