There are three kinds of "using": 1. import-package/required-bundle wiring 2. service wiring 3. geronimo bundle dependency for #1, that means a view to show which one imports the packages the bundle exports. for #2, I think we don't need to care about that, because even if a service provider bundle is uninstalled, the bundle using the service object can still run without problems. OSGi framework will maintain the service object for this bundle until it un-gets the service. for #3, that is the current dependency viewer in the debug-view Portlet. So, do you mean the #1? That will be great to display such information. -Rex > > -Jack > > > On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 5:19 PM, Delos <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> OSGI Bundle is a new item for Geronimo admin console and RFC 139 defines >> many Mbeans used to get bundle information in OSGI environment.
