The latest status is I built a plugin system around OSGi for Atlassian and it is in the process of being rolled out. Basically, it utilizes a hybrid approach where the main webapp is a normal webapp, but plugins can be installed on it dynamically via OSGi. I have the OK to open source it, but I want to have something in mind to use it with first. Archiva, the Maven proxy, is looking to add a plugin system, and since James, a fellow Atlassian, is a committer, I might start there. They use WebWork 2 right now, so it may involve a migration to Struts 2, we'll see...
