I certainly understand the "short of time" problem. It just happens that I
have a bit of a window right now and would like to get into it a bit deeper.
Whether a Karaf/PAX/Felix implementation is more appropriate under the aegis
of Kura or as a separate project that leverages the Kura driver bundles is
hard to say. I guess that would depend on a couple of things.
1. How amenable they are to a more top down approach that starts with OSGi
service mechanics and drives down to meet the driver bundles?
2. Does an Eclipse foundation project have any interest in an Karaf branch
project?
The ECF project would be interested in such an effort [1]. We have
been/are distributing our impl of the OSGi Remote Services/RSA specs [2]
as Karaf features [3] and have recently been exploring using remote
services for Karaf management [4].
Also, in my interaction with some of the Kura committers it's become
clear that they are doing some prototyping of running Kura services on
Karaf [5]. I don't know whether they have release plans around that
work, but I know that it has been going on. It might be useful to
convey to them directly what your desires/criticisms are, and perhaps
contribute to that work.
