What do you think?
Technically, I'm not against it, but this is one of the tradeoffs,
since OSGi was designed to work for embedded devices, it meant being
stuck on the older/smaller JVMs. So, using these features
immediately limits the applicability of examples for people in this
area. However, at this point, I'm not sure how many people are
really using it in this area anymore, so it may or may not matter.
Because this example uses Swing anyway, I don't see a big downside in
this case. There are not that many embedded devices that support
Swing, but not Java 5, at least that I know of.
Okay, so if everybody agrees I'd like to update the samples source
code to use Java 5 features. Do you have to vote about that? Or can we
just start with that?
No votes are necessary. For the wiki, we can give you karma to edit it
directly if you submit an ICLA, for patching the source code, just
create JIRA issues and attach patches for now.
One additional suggestion would be to have an HTML5+JS version of
this example, which is much easier to demo in modern web environments.
That sounds like a great idea! I'd like to help with that, once I'm
finished with the SimpleShape example.
Cool. Thanks.
