I'm not sure it's the best idea, my goal is to move it out of sandbox, it already has enough experiments that need completion. and the main goal is to be 'lite' :-). It has a simple Addon mechanism, and I don't mind having an optional addon manager impl using OSGI - but I don't want to get distracted, I started tomcat-lite experiment >2 years ago. The first part ( adding manifests to existing tomcat ) seems to have support so could be done in the trunk. I don't see any reason for having non-intrusive OSGI support developed in sandbox - as long as the code is in a package that is excluded from the official distro, and is released as a separate unit it could live in trunk. It'll need the 3 +1 to be released, of course - but the whole point of modularity is to be able to develop modules independent of the container. IMO sandbox is for experiments that would replace existing tomcat components or core stuff. If you do it in trunk - it's easier to get it released eventually, and you may get better reviews and attention.
