Hi all 
 
Does anyone here use Spring-OSGI project? 
It looks very attractive. 
 
I have a couple of questions about Spring-OSGI. 
 
1.Spring-OSGI spec claims benefits for OSGi bundle developers. 
One of these relates to OSGi service publishing/discovering. 
How/what can the Equinox/Eclipse plugin developer benefit from Spring-OSGI? 
 
As I understand Equinox extends OSGi spec by adding its own concept of 
ExtensionPoints/Extensions. And I guess that Spring-OSGI knows nothing  
about these extensions. And so, Equinox plugin developer can benefit  
from Spring-OSGI only in case of using Equinox to develop just plain  
OSGi bundles, but not a Equinox/Eclipse plugin. Is it right guess? 
 
2.Just a newbie question. 
What are relation and conceptual difference between OSGi services and  
Equinox extension-point/extension mechanisms? For which tasks are OSGi  
services enouht, and for which ones is only Equinox extension-point  
suitable? 
 
3.Question is actually for Spring-OSGI team. 
How is current Spring-OSGI 1.0-M2 stable? Is it ready for using in  
production? 
 
See details about Spring-OSGI here: 
http://www.springframework.org/osgi 
especially 
http://www.springframework.org/osgi/specification 
 
Thanks in advance.

An excellent resource for learning about Spring-OSGi is the interview with 
Adrian Colyer at InfoQ:

There is also a Google Group you can join that is tracking Spring-OSGi:
