Background

At a face-to-face meeting in April 2009, the Fedora committers agreed to begin moving toward OSGi as a module framework for Fedora.  Over the remainder of 2009, several of us gained experience with OSGi:

So, rather than concentrating on "Moving to OSGi" as a goal in itself, we resolved to improve Fedora's modularity in other, more tractable ways, while using the knowledge we've gained over the last year to increase Fedora's "OSGi-Friendliness" over time. 

Goals

We have identified a few concrete steps we can take to move Fedora's Module Architecture forward:

• Document, maintain, and apply best practices for being "OSGi Friendly"
• Change Fedora's Modules to use a modern dependency injection framework (Spring and/or Guice)
• Retain the long-term goal of having a Fedora OSGi bundle that can be used by other apps
