Correct. The fact that Jeff and Simon writes[1]; <quote>In fact, it [http://www.eclipse.org/equinox] is the reference implementation for the framework portion of that specification.</quote> and is the dominant perception in the industry is, if I understand Tom right, inaccurate. It should read something more like; "Equinox has been used to create the Reference Implementation" or perhaps the opposite "Equinox is a direct derivation of the Reference Implementation". And is the Reference Implementation from OSGi available to the public?[2] Cheers Niclas [1] http://www.theserverside.com/tt/articles/article.tss?l=EclipseEquinoxOSGi [2] http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Reference+Implementation%22+site:osgi.org+-jsr
