[Yanel-dev] HOW TO KILL AN OSGI PROJECT - WITH 10 QUESTIONS

[basZero]

It is certainly worth to get into the modularity details of Java SE7, which
has been launched last week. Maybe that covers already a bunch of Yanel
requirements...

btw: tomorrow at Technopark Zurich is a JUGS JavaSE7 Launch Event, I'll go
there definitely.
