Just my 2c: Eclipse, OSGified since 3.2, still doesn't fully support
updates without a JVM restart; and they have full control about the
whole aspects.
Unfortunately there are tens of thousands of plugin writers out there that
are not aware of the dynamics. Eclipse migrated to OSGi 4 years ago and did
some incredible open heart surgery on their runtime engine to support OSGi.
It was quite impressive how they replace their engine with an OSGi based
version while existing plugins kept working. However, none of the existing
code was ready for the consequences of dynamics. Plugins could add entries
to menu's but this information came from a static file in the plugin, so
there was no facility to remove this information.
To me, a webapp adds "entries" (aka Servlet) to menus (aka url patterns)
from a static file inside the war (web.xml). If it was not possible in 4
years to solve this problem in Eclipse, how will it be possible for Tomcat?
