Hi Neil,

Is DS really the only way? I have downloaded Eclipse M6 and tested the
DS-Editor. Well, how do I say it polite? If I have 2, 3 or even more
components in one bundle that require OSGi services I have to create
(if I got it right) 2, 3 or even more XML files with
service-component-descriptions. This sounds like XML-hell.
Although I sympathize/empathize, I don't think DS constitutes XML-hell.
DS is not the only way, but it does manage inter-service dependencies
very effectively IMHO. I've been using it rather heavily recently, and
after some initial learning time for me, I now consider it very helpful
(and I was skeptical about xml hell as well).
And the DS tooling in Eclipse 3.5 is still very early...it will
improved/extended quickly I expect. Even so, I've found it very helpful
in its current state (although still have plenty of suggestions for
improvements in the tooling).
In any event, I wouldn't dismiss DS too quickly, if that's your inclination.
My $0.02.
Scott
