Yes, my sentiments exactly. I wouldn't want a focus on a *breadth* of systems to end up meaning that (a) nothing is done well or (b) this slips out of Java 7.
As always OSGi is the most important to us and, I suspect, to the majority also. Its also the only one with an associated approved JCP standard, so it would be interesting to know what platform specific issues have been encountered. andy At 11:10 03/04/2008, Daniel Leuck wrote: >Hi Sam, > >My two cents: It seems like OSGi and Maven would be enough.
