Well, Oscar has existed for nearly five years now...we could have
collaborated when Eclipse started to move to OSGi. ;-)
For the record, there was collaboration. From the very beginning of the
Eclipse OSGi effort we talked with you and used Oscar in our prototypes.
The general consensus (and I believe it was mutual) was that Oscar was
intended as a research vehicle and at that time you were not interested in
a more widespread use as the base for Eclipse.
Well, that is not exactly my recollection of how things concluded, but
you are definitely correct in saying that there was some interaction at
the beginning. Also for the record, the reason I switched the Oscar
license from GPL (at that time) to ASL was largely at your request to
foster consideration for Eclipse... :-)
