Guys, this is beyond awesome. I've been using Guice and Spring DM at work and I just can't believe how superior IPojo is! And people are sucking for Guice for some reason. Keep up the good work on IPojo! By the way, has anyone been able to test the Gradle plugin I've created for IPojo? I've tested it myself with a few test projects and it seems to work great, but it would be great to know if there's anything missing from it (or something broken). It's on JCenter if anyone wants to try it (work on version 1.1 is about to start)... Documentation on GitHub: https://github.com/renatoathaydes/osgi-run/tree/master/ipojo-plugin Renato
