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.
It will be a bi-directional integration, so OGIi bundles will be able
to see geronimo services and geronimo services will be able to see
bundles (and services in bundles). Using your terminology it will be
a container.
Will the implementation you are
working on will actually enable running OSGi bundles taken from
Eclipse?
Yes, except Geronimo doesn't use extension points, so there will be
nothing to "extend", although the bundles will be able to see the
other bundles that have extension points.
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?
There will be a GBean for the OSGI framework, one for each bundle and
one for each service in the bundle.
If you're goals match ours, it looks like we'll be one of your first
costumers :-)
Great. Having people able to test-drive the implementation right
away will make effort much more successful.
