Swing and OSGi generally work together fine, give or take a few little
oddities with dynamic changes. Angelo's blog post documents how to
work around those.
I also found issues with custom controls and custom look-and-feel
classes, since those are looked up by Swing in an extremely odd and
anti-modular way. The workaround is to place custom controls and
look-and-feels on the application classpath rather than in bundles.
Regarding your other questions...
"is OSGI still dependent upon another framework for initial distribution?"
What does this mean? OSGi doesn't depend on anything except the base
JRE libraries.
I think he means things like Web Start for initial provisioning...the
answer is still "yes".

"Is OSGI supported by any App Stores and if so who?"
The closest thing to an App Store I have seen in the Java world is the
Eclipse Marketplace, which is OSGi-based. Sun's "Java Store" never
went anywhere and I'm not aware of any other app stores that are
actually in production. Other app stores are definitely being
developed, and OSGi is an excellent technology on which to base one.
BTW I disagree with Angelo about the use of this list... queries like
this have always been asked here.

Neil

Combining Swing and OSGi has its own peculiarities; I wrote about
that at http://lsd.luminis.nl/swing-and-osgi/ . This also comes up as
a first hit when googling on "Swing OSGi".
By the way, I think this discussion should go on at the Users list,
since it is not related to developing the OSGi standard.

Hi All,
Is there any example for Swing using OSGI available? Is there any
books about OSGI that would have an example using swing client app?
Also, is OSGI still dependent upon another framework for initial
distribution?
Is OSGI supported by any App Stores and if so who?
Thanks for the answers. These are issues that have prevented me from
using OSGI in the past and was curious what the current answers are.
