Another interested party re. Gemini-Blueprint here... Gemini-blueprint offers integration with Spring application contexts whereas Aries Blueprint does not. Without integration with Spring and/or Guice, I'm not sure how useful Aries can really be... The DI capabilities of raw Blueprint are ok for basic bundles but are pretty limited for advanced use-cases.
For now, Spring-DM 1.2, which works out of the box on Karaf via the feature, seems to have pretty much all the capabilities of Gemini-Blueprint, but obviously this will become less and less true as time goes on.
