[technology-pmc] SAT code move?


As you may or may not know, earlier this year IBM donated some code to OHF in the form of SODA (Service Oriented Device Architecture).  SODA contains an element called SAT (Service Activator Toolkit) which is essentially some OSGi service programming helper classes quite independent of SODA and OHF.  SAT has it roots in IBM code that has been (and continues to be) used for years in various products.  Various people in the more general OSGi programming community are struggling to program with services and SAT offers one potential solution.  This component programming model space is evolving with technologies such as Declarative Services and Spring/OSGi.  SAT represents a viable point on the programming model spectrum and readily be used by people today.

Several people in the Equinox community have suggested that SAT would be better situated in Equinox as OSGi is SAT's main (only) focus.  As such, we would like to formally propose moving this code base (about 100K JAR) from OHF into the Equinox Bundles component.  The Eclipse PMC is happy receiving the code and this message is meant to poll the Technology PMC and ensure there are no issues.  Graham Grieve of the OHF project has given his +1 and has no issues
