Re: Using OSG for Classpath

Hi Peter,
I think the OSGi-ification would be nice for classpath. I have seen that for
OpenWRT the SableVM hacker provide a feature stripped subset of GNU Classpath.
If the addition of OSGi could automate this or make such an effort considerably
easier then I say: Go for it!

Unfortunately I think you cannot hope on much help from the existing Classpath
team. We are all tied up with work to get the core functionality of the Java API
done and as you see from the answers of the others nobody understands OSGi as
good as you.

My suggestion would be that in the end the user can decide whether she wants
OSGi aware Classpath or not (ie: configure --enable-osgi-build).

Just two side question:
Does this handle architecture and all kinds of platform differences reliably?
