Re: [equinox-dev] Re: [osgi-dev] Interoperability problems...
|
I am confused by this question.... Please clarify...
A bundle that is implementing an OSGi service and wants to claim
compatibility with the spec, needs to run the compatibiltiy kit.
A bundle that implments some service "on top of" an OSGi spec has no OSGi
"compatibility" opportunity, as there is no OSGi spec to be compatiblie
with. Hence, there is no need for an RI, but simply an implementation of
a "compatibile" runtime (e.g. Equinox).
What am I missing here?

This is a subtle point which I had missed the importance of until now. It
implies that all OSGi developers, if they wish to ensure their bundles are
strictly compliant, must test against the RI downloaded from the OSGi
Alliance. In particular, a bundle tested against a copy of Equinox
downloaded from eclipse.org cannot necessarily be assumed to be compliant.
In light of this, could somebody tell me where on the OSGi Alliance
website (OUTSIDE the member area) I can download the RI?
Thanks,
Neil
