Richard, By having the "why should Felix..."-attitude, you solidify a stalemate stance. It creates a "why should Aries..."-attitude on the other side, for instance pointing out "there are many examples of multiple spec implementations at ASF". I'm not suggesting that Felix should bend over backwa

I think it's important that Aries have its own identity independent from a particular framework implementation (e.g. Felix or Equinox) or Kernel (e.g. Karaf, Geronimo, etc.). Independence (both technical and perception) will help make it equally consumable in each and increase the likelihood of it

A goal of Aries is to seed a new community focused on the development of an Enterprise Java OSGi application programming model, and runtime that is agnostic of server runtime or OSGi framework implementation. This independence from underlying technology will make Aries' appeal as broad as possible

I will try to keep this short. The OSGi Service Platform is composed of the core and compendium specs. The EEG specs are not in any way special and will ultimately end up as part of the compendium spec. Apache Felix was incubated to build a community at Apache around implementing the OSGi spec
