[Biojava-dev] osgi-bioinformatics at googlegroups.com: new mailing list for OSGi issues in bioinformatics

[Jim Procter]

Hi all.

Some of you will be aware of the OSGi plugin architecture 
(www.osgi.org), which is used by a number of java applications. You may 
also be aware that a number of bioinformatics projects are considering, 
or are currently migrating their architecture to adopt the OSGi plugin 
model (with or without various additional mechanisms, e.g. Spring, or 
equinox-p2, etc).

I am involved in one such project, and I've created the 
osgi-bioinformatics google group because I'd very much like to be able 
to discuss OSGi related issues with others from the bioinformatics 
software development field who have some OSGi experience. It would also 
be great if we could thresh out some best-practice guidlines, and 
discuss the kinds of modules our projects provide - so others in the 
Bioinformatics-OSGi ecosystem might make use of them.

Sorry to clutter up your in boxes with yet another mailing list invite, 
but hopefully, the discussion will be relevant to some of you working on 
biojava3 - if not now, then later on, when you all feel the biojava3 
APIs are more mature.

If you are OSGi (il)literate, or wish to be, then please join the list at
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/osgi-bioinformatics

Thanks for your attention ;)
Jim Procter.
