Hi Jörn, I've been postponing working on the OSGi support for the BaseToolFactory, I am sorry. I managed to have some free time this week, so I can do it right now if you didn't start it already.
Also, before releasing 1.5.3, I would like to have the factory mechanism available in the Chunker. I will do it latter today.
