There is no plan to make Event implement Serializable. The spec allows any 
object type in an Event including non-serializable types.

Subject:        [osgi-dev] Will org.osgi.service.event.Event become 
serializable ?
Sent by:        [email protected]




  Dear contributors,

   there was an interesting discussion regarding the (missing)
  serializability of events in OSGi, particulary of the BundleEvent.

  As Martin pointed out [1] its is the org.osgi.service.event.Event
  not being serializable at all, which is really cumbersome. There
  were no reactions to his post at that time, and I wonder when this
  obsolate limitation will change and the Event class become Serializable 
?

  OSGi version 4.2 has introduced the Map API as property holder,
  rendering the usage of the (non-serializable) Dictionary class
  unnecessary. Are there plans to remove this deprecated class from
  the spec in favor of making Events serializable ?

   Best regards
     Jaroslav
