Recently it gained some momentum when the Eclipse team replaced their original plugin mechanism with OSGi (actually, they paved over it rather than replace). </p> <p> First full version of <a href="http://oscar.objectweb.org/">Oscar</a>, an implementation of OSGi, was released yesterday. Also checkout <a href="http://oscar-osgi.sourceforge.net/">OSGi bundle repository</a> and this nice <a href="http://oscar-osgi.sourceforge.net/tutorial/">tutorial</a> of how OSGi can be used. </p> <img src="http://www.docuverse.com/blog/donpark/aggbug.ashx?id=7fd2dbc1-f24d-4b0f-b2c1-4ac2105d8d82" height="0" width="0"> [<a href="http://www.docuverse.com/blog/donpark/">Don Park's Daily Habit</a>]<br> </blockquote> <br> I'm still pondering the many ways of implementing systems at the moment including inversion of control containers (like <a href="http://www.picocontainer.org/">Pico</a> and <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/hivemind/index.html">Hivemind</a>).&nbsp; <a href="http://www.osgi.org/">OSGi</a> (& maybe when it is developed <a href="http://gravity.sourceforge.net/">Gravity</a>) look interesting also.<br> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00002326.html
