Rob,

Thank you for the comment on my blog posting. I've responded, but will also take a moment to respond here, as well.

I didn't intend to come across as narrowly focused. In fact, I thought I was pretty broadly focused and had made it clear I was talking about OSGi for web application development. I felt I was pretty clear that OSGi proper (Equinox and Felix) is ready for primetime, but the tooling and application platform is not. I'm an OSGi advocate, but it's unrealistic to expect an enterprise developer to glue together the components necessary to develop an enterprise application using OSGi. That's why we use products and frameworks - so we don't have to. You can respectfully disagree with my argument, but the reality is that until better tooling exists and the application platform exposes the capabilities of OSGi, the enterprise is not going to use it. And I wish they could!

I shall now take a retreat to write some code...:-)

When did developing sotfware and apps get reduced to mindless lego block assembly - where did all the real programmers go? I guess they're writing code not blogs!
