I always wanted to blog about this: This is a big thank you to the Apache Commons team who directly picked up my innocent question if they could support OSGi in their upcomming releases and immediately added this to their projects. There are already some releases out, like commons-io and commons-lang, that you can directly deploy as a bundle.
This is great as this saves time and energy to all people using OSGi and commons projects – no wrapper bundles are needed anymore and you can directly use the released stuff.
So again, THANK YOU!
