Yes, as there are no other applications using this plugin system, so it would be mainly for Taverna Plugin developers. Remember we have not yet released the command line those plugins are for (this framework is a dependency of the command line launcher).
There could be other applications using it though, which could do with more documentation. But first I think we need to figure out how to use it ourselves (and how such updates affect the Apache release process) I think if Taverna OSGI matures that far we could suggest adding it to Apache Felix instead as an add-on, if they would be interested.
