Hi Richard,
Spring itself doesn't have OSGi support. You have to add Spring DM to
get the OSGi features (osgix:service, osgix:reference, etc).
Actually, Blueprint comes from Spring DM, and Spring DM is not
deprecated/dead (replaced by Blueprint Gemini).
In Karaf, we use Apache Aries Blueprint (Blueprint is the specification,
we have two implementations: one in Apache Aries, one in Eclipse with
Gemini).

Hi all,
I just played around a little bit creating and consuming OSGi services.
First with Blueprint and then with Spring. It seems there's no big
difference between those two.
For me (as a beginner in OSGi / Karaf) Blueprint context files look
smaller and cleaner, so I'd like to focus my efforts on Blueprint and
forget about Spring. Is this a bad idea?
What is the main difference between Spring and Blueprint?
Regards,
Richard
