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!
