What's the reason for Synapse being OSGi
Hi all,
I am trying to understand the advantage of making Synapse jars as OSGi
bundles.
Anyone can recall the original decision behind this?
I found the following blog written by Ruwan in 2008, but still, it is
unclear what advantage we are gaining from OSGi.
http://blog.ruwan.org/2008/07/apache-synapse-artifacts-are-osgi.html
Going forward to support future JDK versions, this will become a little
problematic. If there is no real reason shall we remove OSGi?
Thanks.

+1 for removing OSGi. I don't see any value in continuing to use it. If we
really want to maintain runtime boundaries as in OSGi, we can use the
latest Java features itself to achieve it.

I don't see we are gaining anything from OSGi here, so no alternative is
required.

Hi Isuru,
for clarification, is the plan to replace OSGi with an alternative or is it
just removing dead weight?
