Hi,

currently the runtime (rt) project draft charter [1] lists a) as one of
its project scopes. I propose to change it into b), to show potential
adopters that rt projects make OSGi interoperability [2] one of their
key features.
In practise I'd expect rt projects to at least continuously test their
bundles not just with Equinox, but other R4 implementations.

Regards
Markus

a) "All implementations must be based on OSGi and run on Equinox."
b) "All implementations must be based and run on any R4 compliant OSGi
implementation".

Markus,

That certainly is a good goal however Equinox offers many extensions
that are required in real runtime scenarios. Saying that all RT project
output has to run on any R4 framework would limit our ability to exploit
those facilities.

Jeff,

that pretty much sounds like the OSGi R4 spec doesn't life up to real
runtime scenarios/requirements. I'm not sure this is the case, though I
won't argue that it is desirable to exploit the full functionality of
Equinox.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I question that the majority of bundles
need to use non spec compliant features in order to be usable in real
runtime scenarios.

Markus,

are you saying that projects in RT are required to run against other R4 implementations. What if projects in RT does not
have that requirment. Cant they live in that space anymore ?

I think nothing stops a project to commit to go beyond the requirements of the top level project. But thats not
necessarily true for all projects.

What about Extensions that are in the Equinox SDK but probably not in a Felix SDK I assume ? I know they would run there
but they are not part of the R4 spec as I recall. So is using Extensions as the Workbench does all over the place a
forbidden thing then for a RT project ?

just my 2 cent

Christian,

IMO we should require projects who live in rt to be R4 compatible with a
"lightweight" process to make an exception on a per bundle basis.
In general I don't want to drive projects out of rt, but to reach the
consent that interoperability is a major goal of rt.
