[jira] Commented: (MRM-1427) OSGi Bundle support (OBR repositories)

["John Dunlap (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-1427?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=247839#action_247839 ] 

John Dunlap commented on MRM-1427:
----------------------------------

I would also add that robust and comprehensive bundle dependency management is critical for avoiding bundle dependency hell. Linux struggled with the same problem prior to the yum/apt package managers. Java struggled with the same thing prior to Maven. Once OSGI figures this out it will be a truly awesome platform.
