So I take it that the answer is still "I don't know" Hopefully the question will come up in another forum that has more background and information.

Duh. Hence the disclaimer. For example, if I was going to -argue- in favour of either OSGi or Jigsaw, vs just listing what I recall of Mark's technical reasons behind jigsaw vs. OSGi, I'd for example mention that many of the more vocal members of the OSGi community suffers from a paranoia complex and tend to be rude. For example, you yourself here suggest my understanding of Mark Reinhold's reasons for Jigsaw painted OSGi camp as political, without explaining what part of what I wrote paints that picture. I certainly don't see it, and making non-obvious accusations is rude in my book. I'll back up my insinuation that you are paranoid in regards to OSGi vs. Jigsaw so as not to be rude: On Oct 12, 12:53 pm, Eric Newcomer <[email protected]> wrote: > In fact, I said JDK8. Nope.

Given that Mark's main issues with OSGi are all technical, I'd like to hear technical arguments about why he's either wrong, or why OSGi can adapt to address them, or why these technical arguments aren't significant enough to warrant a new module system.

What possible relevance does an eclipse guy's opinion on OSGi have on whether or not Oracle / Mark Reinhold may or may not change his mind about Jigsaw, or about the technical issues that he's raised to explain why he prefers the jigsaw solution? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" grou... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
