On a related note, I have always wondered why Maven was not using
OSGi underneath?
Because it wasn't very mature 3 years ago, and aside from the
classloader mechanism which is really quite amazing there isn't much
in the component model that's overly impressive. What has existed in
Avalon is really a better component model that's in OSGi, and general
dependency injection is generally pretty poor in OSGi. What is in
XBean, Pico, Spring, Yan, and Juice have better dependency injection
capabilities. The modularity aspects of OSGi are good, the rest of it
I don't really care for and will go the path of cooperating with Dain
and Paul on Pico and XBean. This evening Dain Sundstrom, David
Blevins, David Jencks and Kohsuke Kawaguchi talked about JAXB
replacing all these mechanisms. JAXB is so close to doing DI for
everything. Dain is currently working on replacing the DI in Plexus
with XBean reflect and then we'll work with Paul to make this work
with Pico. I've talked with Jeff McAffer to about OSGi and we've
already identified many things OSGi can't do insofar as running Maven.
But in the coming months many things are going to fall out with
respect to containers.

Would shading be eliminated if Maven 2.1 integrated OSGi so that

The reason for this is that commons-logging in the root

to be swallowed now).
What about using slf4j and it's commons-logging replacement?
this didn't give me any luck unfortunately. I'm not entirely
comfortable tossing commons-logging into the root classloader at
this stage without tying it into the plexus logging properly, so I
think the pre-shaded webdav library is the way to go at this point
(it's essentially the same thing).
No the replacement for commons logging, so there is no commons
logging
jar in the root classloader.
