+1 to add a page to our website somewhere that talks about OSGi bundling. Since I've never actually run any of the OSGi containers, I don't think I qualify to do other than a "theory" page - and my theories are often not quite right :-) - so it would be good if you and/or others that have run things in Felix etc., can write something.
I'm somewhat in favor of releasing the OSGi bundles as now packaged (once they've been verified to work in this form), since Tommaso (for one) finds them useful and uses them in some projects. -Marshall On 8/9/2011 12:07 PM, Jörn Kottmann wrote: > On 8/9/11 5:43 PM, Marshall Schor wrote: >> A broader OSGi "support" for UIMA could be done, where we make UIMA aware of >> OSGi, and have it use OSGi "services" to load classes from bundles, etc., but >> that hasn't been done. >> >> Let me know if this is off-base with respect to use cases you know about...; >> any >> testing appreciated:-) > > Well, I am still skeptical if it is a good idea to release this.
