Dave If you are interest in what we've been up to - ping me off list. Regarding why it didn't catch. Not really sure. Part of the problem is I think Jini and OSGi concepts were just too far ahead of the curve. Combine them and few people understood what was going on. Also politics between the big vendors. Today is a little different. Distributed Data Centre platforms are becoming "fashionable" - watch the Mesosphere and Kubernetes propaganda :) Take "ZooKeeper" - weld a batch deployment solution around it deploy Docker images. Job Done! Along side this we also have the Micro Services "trend". All somewhat perplexing if you've been using Jini or distributed OSGi for a number of years. Of course one of the problems both OSGi and Jini have today is that Java is not "hip". Google, FaceBook and Twitter don't use it. But hang on - the vast majority of "real business" out there do continue to use Java! I've ranted enough :)
