The real question is: do we target to deploy only in an OSGi framework
(like Felix or Equinox), and in that case, we have to install blueprint
first (Gemini or Aries), or do we target to deploy in a container like
Karaf (which include Aries Blueprint by default and use it a lot
internally).

take JPA for instance it is usable in JSE or JEE. For me OpenEJB should be
usabel with blueprint and without.
Once again maybe that's not a so big issue since i'm not so familiar with
blueprint.

Blueprint as an architectural pattern is part of the OSGi enterprise
spec so why shouldn't it be "pure" OSGi?

I don't know so much about blueprint so maybe my previous sentence
doesn't
make so sense. If it is the case simply ignore it ;)
Ignored :)
It's the same situation when OSGi is embraced for its modularity to
build application server foundation with no change for an end user. It
was the case for WAS 6.1 and 7.0 (with Feature Pack), and JBoss AS,
GlassFish before they exposed it as another framework to build
enterprise apps with. Blueprint doesn't preclude using a pure OSGi (if
I'm even allowed to claim there's a pure OSGi). It's still OSGi, but
with some goodies that help dealing with dynamicity you may have
suffered from in activators, tracers or similar.
I hope to show a simple change soon. Don't worry about it for now.
