There is yet another question - how long the old Spring DM will work with the future Spring versions... This is next theme we should think about when people will still want to integrate Spring with OSGi in the future. Or we should perhaps provide more extensions for Blueprint (like Blueprint AOP, Blueprint Security...) to be able to compete with Spring

Somehow I wonder how well future spring versions will behave in OSGi.
I think we should start to at least warn our users that continued use of spring in OSGi is an increasing risk.

Hi

So I have been waiting for Spring to release Spring 3.2.5 or newer as
OSGi bundle on their EBR repo at
http://ebr.springsource.com/repository/

The last release available is 3.2.4.

I asked on twitter and got this reply
https://twitter.com/glynnormington/status/425280920888016896

Also if you see the FAQ here, it says the repo is frozen
http://ebr.springsource.com/repository/app/faq

And that it may not be online anymore after September 2014.

Glyn, refers to Eclipse EBR but it looks like they have not taken over
doing Spring OSGi release
http://www.eclipse.org/ebr/


So down the road we have 2 problems

1)
Spring 3.2.4 is the last OSGi bundle release

2)
The Spring EBR repo will be taken offline in the future



So any thoughts what we can do?
