== Minutes ==

* Considering dropping support for Windows 95, 98, ME
** These platforms don't support Unicode which requires separate ANSI natives
** This adds complexity to launcher code and increases maintenance cost - each new native needs to have ANSI and Unicode variants
** SWT still works on these platforms but would quickly run into resource constraints

* OSGi face to face meetings underway this week
** OSGi R5 spec development underway
** Discussion of moving to Java 5 but maintaining binary compatibility with R4
** EEG framework discussion (multiplexing of singletons, etc)
** Changes to config admin under discussion

* More discussion on how to register services like event admin
** Could put DS component in a fragment
** Could have a fragment for case where user doesn't want to use DS
** Can require user to register components themselves if DS is not present
