yes. But this is independent of the CM used. > I began working with OSGI (not much yet because I'm too busy on other > stuff)... what do you mean by "implementing our SPI for OSGI"? This means implementing the ComponentManager interface. So for ex it means doing some DI (manually as it's done in the Embedded CM for ex or with other fwk like guice), implementing a generic bundle activator that listens to events and translate that into XWiki component event, etc. Thanks -Vincent >> I have all the code done for sending Component Manager events but it >> won't work with Plexus so I'm proposing to use our Embedded CM for >> now.
