Interesting...for some reason it is tied to JDK 6...

Interesting indeed... As far as I understand there is no source
available yet so I will hold my comments until that is the case -- I'd
be interested in whether it is a complete new effort or some of the
existing frameworks is used as a base...

regards,

Karl

"The main purpose of this project was to develop an up-to-date  
implementation of OSGi Service Platform taking advantages of last JVM  
capabilities and solving some problems related to Native libraries"

That's a quote from the homepage of his site. I can also see he's  
using some of the improvements in the Swing UI that are only  
available in Java 6 (tray icon). It makes perfect sense to me if you  
want to use your framework on desktops or servers where you can  
simply use Sun's (or IBM's) Java 6 implementation. For embedded  
systems, it might not have been the best choice, although even in  
that field more and more CPU's are becoming Intel compatible and can  
run a full Java SE. ;)
