Pretty much every major Java app server is built on OSGi now. I'd say they were meaningful to Java programmers :) I know that Dick (and probably the rest of the posse) has had enough of the discussion (can't blame them) however I suspect that an interview with people from some of the major projects who are using OSGi would provide more insight into why it is (or isn't) "important, viable or worth caring" about than discussions with people from the OSGi alliance or Jigsaw. > > I'm not picking a fight...

However OSGi and things like iPOJO (it's very nice, check it out at http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-ipojo.html) and especially the possibility of using them with something like Scala have made the Java platform really compelling again.
