If many people still need a Spring integration with OSGi it should be no problem. ServiceMix Bundles sub-project provides now Spring bundles. We have also Eclipse Gemini Blueprint (successor of Spring DM), but I don't know how active the project is. But usage of Gemini for Spring integration forces usage of the Gemini's Blueprint implementation too. Personally I don't like such a configuration. I prefer usage of Spring DM which, I think so, doesn't need to die. Indeed it's died. But it can be reanimated and provide a lightweight Spring integration -- probably as a new project based on Spring DM code base. If people want (or need) to use Spring in OSGi there should be no problem. They must only invest some effort to make the Spring OSGi integration still living
