quick update on the topic as part of my conversation on the fop mailing list.
Q: If I understood you correctly a) fop won't work without modifications in an OSGI environment and b) there is no quick fix to resolve that. Is that correct? A: yes, that's about it. You could combine XGC, Batik and FOP to one OSGi bundle (if you're careful about merging all META-INF/services files) and just add OSGi metadata. That could avoid the plug-in detection problems. As I already tested the ServiceMix bundle it might be worth reviewing how that was build as there might be an issue with that. Maruan
