Right. So, there are no customizations or fixes to be applied -- we'd be using the jar (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/equinox/drops/I20110514-0800/org.eclipse.osgi_3.7.0.v20110513.jar), unaltered. So, I see no reason to move the jar into an org.apache.geronimo-based groupId. I'll also note that any patches would likely be EPL licensed. We won't host EPL source code at Apache. So, IMO, we'll never be hosting Equinox patches... --kevan
