Whilst I have no need for OSGI at the moment, I believe this is
an interesting addition to GeoTools, worth of inclusion,
and I would really prefer to see the work go on in the GeoTools
trunk as opposed to a remote clone.

I understand you have OSGI-fied a number of modules already.
It would be nice to see:
- a diff, just to get an idea of what it takes to actually
   turn a module in a well behaved OSGI citizen
- a wiki guide on how to repeat the process on other modules.
- some way to test that the changes do not break existing
   applications (having a diff that can be applied to trunk
   would be a good way, I can apply it, test that GeoServer
   still works fine).

The wiki part is a way to future proof your changes, we
know you don't need to OSGI all of GeoTools and we neither
ask for that, but it would be nice to know how to extend
your work in a consistent way should other people need
more OSGI-fied modules.

Cheers
Andrea
