Reflecting FraSCAti modules as OSGi bundles
OSGi defines a standard packaging mechanism, which can be used to better isolate the loading of software modules within a standard Java Runtime Environment. FraSCAti «à la carte» could benefit from this mechanism to better control the loaded modules as well as their dependencies.
It would therefore be nice to consider the definition of OSGi-compliant manifest files for the module of the platform. Existing tools, such as BND [1] or Tycho [2] could facilitate this task by generating the manifest file from the Maven configuration file.
