Re: [equinox-dev] Status of Equinox respect to OSGi R4

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

yes you are right I should have qualified/scoped
that statement.  I focused on the framework portions of the core spec
and believe that are "fully compliant" on all portions related
to the framework.

It might be interesting if OSGi defined
a notion of fully compliant or perhaps other ways of talking about compliance.
 It is not clear how many people would be able to (or want to) claim
"full" compliance.  As OSGi spreads its wings the set of
spec'd services grows broader and broader.  Who would implement all
of MEG, VEG, CPEG and now EEG spec'd services?  Perhaps a few people?
 Even within one EG there are services that are quite unrelated.  

It would be unfortunate if people started
saying "Hmmm, we shouldn't use Felix/Equinox/... because it is not
*fully* compliant" (wrt all OSGi specs or even just CPEG).  It
seems anti-thematic to talk about certifying collections of loosely coupled
components.  Let each component stand on its merits and talk about
its status.

Isn't it possible that such an answer could be misconstrued? Equinox 
does not implement every aspect of the R4 specification. Granted, 
Equinox implements a very large portion of it, but it seems more 
forthright to be clear about what it means to be "fully" compliant,
which is what was asked.
