I can see merits to both approaches, but at the moment I think retaining the OSGi manifest directive style makes the most sense. I can see the XML syntax being an enhancement at some point as the tools evolve, but I just can't see worrying about it too much right now.
Frankly, I think tooling for OSGi (maven plugins, IDE support, etc.) will see massive amounts of innovation as more people start adopting the framework and providing more input on usability. So I guess what I am saying is that I think ANY approach is going to change a lot in the next few months so we might as well conserve our energy and keep it simple :-) Chris On 1/27/07, Richard S.

It means that we will consider the solution. I can still be convinced either way, so if other people have strong opinions, I can probably go either way. How about you? -> richard
