Hi Raj, this sounds great! Was there any interest from the ofbiz community?

Hi Chris,
I have created a prototype integration of OFBiz and OSGI at source
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/ofbiz-osgi/). This runs OFBiz as a
framework inside a OSGi Kernal. As of now it loads framework as well
as application. I have tested the service engine and entity engine and
both works fine in OSGi environment. Web applications are not
integrated and deployed in this prototype however, it should not be
difficult to do so.
If you want to use the OFBiz as a framework to develop your own
applications using technologies such as JSF, Struts, Spring Web or
Eclipse RAP, you can use the OFBiz/OSGi very well. without carrying
the baggage of other OFBiz web applications.
Thanks,
Raj

From the work I have done on creating an Eclipse application, I quite
like the OSGi plugin concept. OSGi may help ofbiz in areas like
dependency management and hot upgrades. Maven 2 would be suitable as
the build tool.
There is a lot to learn about OSGi first though...
Please feel free to put a design or prototype together :o)
Though discussing it before avoids disillusions... So what is your
idea, Maven 2 ?
