Starting to *think* about mavenizing the felix build. Notice that
the framework only has one third-party jar dependency -- kxml.jar.
What version is this? Looks like maybe something from the 1.x
series, perhaps 1.2.1? Is there a reason for not using the 2.x
series versions?
It seem like 2.x not is back compatible with 1.x. As 1.x is deprecated
(http://kxml.sourceforge.net/about.shtml) we should probably try to move
away from it. I have not read the framework code so I don't know how
kxml is used. Anyway, kxml is AFACS a pull parser, if there are resons
for continue using pull parsers, using a StAX parser is probably the
safest bet. kxml 2.x is based on xmlpull.
If we need to continue to use 1.x, do you think the Enhydra folks
will contribute a build of kxml to ibiblio, named to kxml-1.2.1.jar?
The kxml.jar is embedded in the ServiceBinder and in the
BundleRepositoryService (OBR).
The kxml.jar could be substituted by a standard JAXP SAX Parser.
This is the case in the latest version of MetadataParser bundle. The
previous version was integrated by Rick in the BundleRepositoryService
sources.

and for the demo

This bundle could join the Felix code base.
How is it related to the metatype service?
