Hi Niclas,
If your suggested path doesn't limit the framework decisions a user has, then I
have no objections.
Indiens I am not that deep into osgi to have a well founded opinion.
The api will probably never be a pure api module as it contains the driver
manager, which I wouldn't want to put into a separate module.
Chris

Betreff: Re: SPI Module - OSGi Bundle
Both approaches are independent of OSGi framework implementations, which is
part of the beauty of OSGi.
Lukasz puts more value on some dogmatic principle ("only interfaces in
API"), whereas I have forwarded how an OSGi bundle producer is expected to
provide it, and how an OSGi bundle consumer would expect to see it and the
added benefit that default behavior can be overridden. Lukasz uses my own
work-around (for JDBC drivers) to show me that is the way things are done.
It is not, it was a necessary hack for that time to get around the legacy
JDBC drivers out in the open, all of them without OSGi manifests.
As I said, I have no skin in the game. Only providing independent advice,
as a former OSGi expert and a keen interest in PLC4X.
