There were questions about the type of changes and the principle of changes done to enable OSGi in the equinox branch. Let me try to give a quick summary of the type of changes that have been applied so far :
- Develop OSGi related tools to facilitate converting Tuscany modules to OSGi bundles - Develop the Equinox launcher - Identified the SPIs packages in the modules - This was an exercise to get current modules working with OSGi, still need work to do - Generate OSGi bundles from current Tuscany modules - Verify broken issues and fix them Also, I'm getting some of these pieces documented as we go in two places : - http://tuscany.apache.org/osgi-aware-programming-in-tuscany.html - http://tuscany.apache.org/sca-java-development-guide-osgi.html On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 9:40 AM, ant elder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 4:30 PM, haleh mahbod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> As I watch the different threads it is clear that there is a common goal >> of encouraging everyone to be involved in creating the base line for OASIS >> code base and there is also a desire to create a working baseline in a >> timely manner. >> >> Here is an idea that came to my mind that might help. >> 1.
