Dain,
I've talked with Jeff McAffer about it last week and I understood that
there where some talks about using the Equinox OSGi somewhere in the
infrastructure and not as a container. Will the implementation you are
working on will actually enable running OSGi bundles taken from Eclipse?
Will each bundle will be a GBean or will there be one GBean which is an
OSGi container that this one will contain all the bundles?
If you're goals match ours, it looks like we'll be one of your first
costumers :-)
I'll be waiting for your release.

Please respond to Re: OSGi Container in Geronimo

Eishay,
I'm working on an OSGi integration for geronimo with basically the
same set of goals in mind. I have been working with Jeff McAffer to
get the Equinox OSGi implementation running well, and I hope to have
something to show off in a few weeks.
