Currently the Service Activator Toolkit (SAT) in the Open Healthcare
Framework (OHF) technology project that is of great value to people
programming OSGi Applications. SAT is a Java component that
simplifies the building of OSGi service-oriented bundles. It is
approximately 8,000 lines of Java code. By decreasing the complexity
of OSGi bundle development, this toolkit provides increased acceptance
of OSGi in the device community. In addition to making the use of OSGi
services easier, it supports the creation of well behaved bundles,
reducing development time, reducing training costs, and promotes
consistent bundle behavior. It seems that this technology is somewhat
misplaced and it would better serve the community if it was part of
the Equinox project.
I propose moving SAT from OHF to Equinox. As this code is very
stable, robust and has been previously used in commercial products, I
would ask that it be reviewed for eligibility for moving in the
graduated Equinox bundles area, rather than the Equinox Incubator.
For reference SAT is in cvs at
:pserver:dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/technology
org.eclipse.ohf/plugins/org.eclipse.soda.sat
There is also lots of good information (documentations, bug reporting,
downloads) at

I support this proposal, as I think that SAT is a must for both
newcomers and professional developers of OSGi.
It simplifies many structs and it helped me a lot through the service
management (and also helped me to point out the bug at Knopflerfish :D:D)
So, you have my vote.
