ActiveMQ, ServiceMix, Camel and CXF Meetup at JavaOne

If you will be at JavaOne or are otherwise in the Bay area on Monday May 5, come join us at Zebulon Cafe from 6-9PM for some drinks and food sponsored by IONA Technologies. Many of the committers on these fine Apache projects will be there, including, Dan Kulp, Hiram Chirino, Rob Davies, Guillaume Nodet, Bruce Snyder, and myself. This will be a nice casual get together where we can answer questions and talk about the projects and the upcoming releases that are in the works.

If you are planning to attend, please visit the following page and add a comment with your name so that we can make sure to save you a beer or five

GlassFish v3 to be based on OSGi?

via Jerome Dochez (Du côté de chez…) it looks like Glassfish v3 will be running in top of OSGi (hopefully Felix).

Now the interesting question that everyone will be asking soon, are we switching to OSGi as our underlying module subsystem ? Today I can say yes, we will.

I don’t know very much about Glassfish, but knowing the Sun position
on OSGi (or lack thereof) made me wonder if this was a belated April Fool’s joke. This seems like a very bold move and hopefully there is more news like this on the way (crossing fingers). Given the recent analysis of JSR-277 by Peter Kriens (Ghost Town JCP) and Neil Bartlett (No Way to Run a JSR), maybe my one time wish that “common sense would prevail” might show a glimmer of hope?
