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
