+1. Makes sense to me.

[equinox-dev] Proposal for an OSGi spec work area in the equinox incubator






I would like to start a new work area in the Equinox incubator to support 
prototyping and investigating future OSGi specifications. The goal behind 
this work area is to develop an implementation of the specification as the 
specification is being developed.

This work area will allow others to more easily join in on the 
investigations for future OSGi implementations. To begin with this work 
area would be used to implement the next release of the OSGi Framework, 
but other future OSGi specifications could also be contributed. This will 
also allow Equinox to provide reference implementations to OSGi without 
effecting the current Eclipse release. We would only graduate the code out 
of the incubator once the OSGi specification has gone public/final and we 
can align it with a major Eclipse release.

I would like to take a vote to approve the OSGi spec work area in the 
equinox incubator.

Tom

OSGi R4.2 Stream


The OSGi Alliance is busy working on the next release of the 
specification. The release of the next OSGi specification will be long 
after the Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) release. To achieve a stable Ganymede 
release we will not release new OSGi R4.2 API or implement new R4.2 
functions in the Ganymede stream (HEAD).

We need a place where we can continue to implement and prototype the next 
OSGi specification release as it is being developed. I see two options.

1) Create an area in the Equinox incubator to develop the OSGi R4.2 
implementation
2) Create a branch off of the current Ganymede stream (HEAD) for OSGi R4.2 
implementation

I prefer using a branch instead of a separate repository project in the 
incubator because it will make life easier when developing streams in 
parallel, which we will likely need to do until the Ganymede release in 
June 2008. I plan to create a branch based of next weeks I-Build for the 
OSGi R4.2 work. Please let me know if you have any issues with this.

Tom
