Christopher and Miguel
Thank you for your comments.
What I would like to realize is:
the client bundle, which would like to use USB disk as a storage,
calls Java API (OSGi Service) indepnedent of OS.
As far as I know, there is no such API standardized.
Therefore, people would define such API by themselves.
It results in lack of portability; the client bundle can work with only
their environment.
Don't we need to have such standardized Java API(OSGi Service) for it ?
Best regards,
Ikuo
