Hi JB,
My project has until recently worked well using Karaf for loading new
Vaadin views as OSGi jars.
Changed policy at Vaadin has made the use of OSGi virtually impossible
and I have been forced into the Spring Boot world.
Much to my surprise, Spring Boot has turned out to be great for coding
and debugging my code.
Missing is the ability to add new views on the fly which karaf kindly
offered.
I have tried to find a way to add new views to Spring Boot during a
restart but no success.
Minho seems to be a possible solution to this problem but the learning
curve seems to be very steep.
If Minho was promoted as a way to add some OSGi functionality to Spring
boot, you may have a winner.
If this is possible, some examples of how to do it could lead to a more
reasonable learning curve.
Also, now we are venturing into java 20 and 21 it seems that Spring Boot
has taken early steps to incorporate projects loom, panama etc..
OSGi may be falling behind with these projects.

Hi Paul,
Yes, that's the idea: having a central/shared registry gathering beans
from OSGi, Spring Boot, CDI, whatever.
The "dynamic" approach (adding/removing applications managed by a app
manager like Spring Boot, OSGi, ...) is also a target.
To be honest, currently, Minho is not moving forward due to the low
interest we got. If we have clear signs that people are interested in
colocation and Minho runtime paradigm, it could change :)
Regards
JB

Hi,
Cannot quite get my head around Apache Minho but--
Can OSGi services be somehow added to the Spring Boot application at
runtime or even at Spring Boot restart?
In effect having Spring Boot acting like an OSGi runtime with services
being added and removed as required.
Is Minho going to proceed?
