Hi there, over at OPS4J we are using a combination of Maven, BND (great tool Peter!) and setup provided by the PaxConstruct and PaxRunner projects, http://wiki.ops4j.org/confluence/display/ops4j/Pax+Construct. Maven is not a great tool , especially not in OSGi context, but for now it seems the best. Niclas Hedhman and me have been playing around with RDF meta data for projects, Rules Engines as the primary logic and OSGi as the container for modules called Silk. However, lately Raffael Herzog has been picking up the task and is building a quite exciting tool called Loom, based on HiveMind as container (heavily adapted in order to support dynamic loading, very close to OSGi), Drools and Ivy as a more powerful dependency manager than Maven http://wiki.ops4j.org/confluence/display/ops4j/Loom. By incorporating the BND tool and being able to describe dependencies as packages, not artifacts, Loom is probably well suited to solve most of the problems, but would need some OSGi specific looking into.
