OSGi...?
the excalibur components are mature, well used and well tested but
they predate OSGi. this means that it's difficult for projects who are
dependent on excalibor components to jump to OSGi. these components
might also a new lease of life since OSGi is currently a little short
of some of the basics.
AIUI some other projects have forked and ported some but IMHO it would
make more sense to maintain these centrally. in the end, they might
end up in felix commons but we could make a start here.
this idea is crazy - i know - but if sufficient apache folks are
interested and can be granted karma then it's not impossible. see
http://markmail.org/thread/24lshugb5rifnwue for more discussion.

that rules me out then ;-)
and how did you manage to split through the door? ;-)
i'll start the traditional way - just spam the list with JIRAs

I think we'd be happy to grant karma to responsible apache committers.
We'll need someone to help out release-manage more than anything I
think -- porting avalon components is easy as pie generally.
If the builds still work (IIRC I fixed it all up for maven2 a while
back) and someone else does the coding I might even be persuaded to do
some of that :)

I know Robert because we are in James PMC and he did a great work in
james svn in the last year so I'd be happy to grant him committer
privileges to excalibur.

I'm definitely interested. I have next to no experience with osgi but I
guess that all component models are created equal... Maybe one could
start with a wrapper.
Bye, Thomas
