[...] Posted on January 25th, 2008 by Adrian Colyer in Spring, OSGi. Well, it took a lot longer than we initially anticipated, but I'm really pleased to say that the Spring Dynamic Modules project reached its 1.0 milestone today. When I first posted on this topic back in September of 2006 ("Spring OSGi support gaining momentum") the initial specification was just an attachment to an issue against the Spring Framework, and connections to the wider OSGi community were only just beginning to be formed.

In my opinion this is the best combination of technologies, I have ever imagined in the java-world. I am super excited, I have been dreaming of this project since I saw the news in spring. I cannot wait to take this baby for a ride, I am yet to come up with some serious project for this framework (spring-osgi) but honestly, I don't think such a pair of technology can be rivaled (within their niche) anytime soon. Spring and OSGI is defintely the future for java-fins like myself. Please keep it going. Let it rip. Projects like this makes me proud of the java community, I can't help it. This is good stuff.

Ashok, I don't have any personal insight but I asked Peter Kriens and he pointed me to two blog entries that he has posted on this topic:

* http://www.osgi.org/blog/2005/11/why-did-we-let-jini-out-of-osgi-r4.html

Hope this helps…

Hi Adrian: Do you have any idea on why was Jini support really dropped from R4? Jini has usage in the travel and banking verticals (not very well advertised, I know).

[...] BTW, seems that the ubiquitous Spring framework and it's OSGi support has got a lot of attention in the last months, and this article is not an exception. [...]

[...] - We've done the background work for the upcoming Spring OSGi integration, which will strengthen Spring's value as a basis for server infrastructure and offer benefits to users in the area of componentization, versioning and dynamic deployment. [...]

It's been bugging me for a long time that notifications weren't working (it's even worse not to be notified when you're actually responsible for the issue!). I raised the issue a couple of times but never got anywhere. However… whether it was your doing or some strange coincidence, notifications started flowing for the first time ever overnight last night. Hopefully they are now working for you too.

This is slightly off topic, so sorry about that.

JIRA has a nice feature of watching issues so that you get mail notifications whenever somebody updates an issue, i.e. adds a comment. I subscribed your issue long time ago but never got any email whenever you changes something on the issue.

I wanted to contact the admins about that but it looks like none of the admins want to receive mails. http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/spring/secure/Administrators.jspa is just a list of names with no contact emails.

Any ideas why that feature is turned off in your JIRA tracker?
