This is another thing that I have been wanting to discuss.  Back when I was
tinkering with JavaTV programming, I got fairly involved with OSGI.

To make a long story short, I think that JXTA (and perhaps JINI too) does a lot
to obsolete OSGI.

A large part of OSGI's value is its ability to allow service providers to
remotely and securely manage things inside of a home or automobile.  The JXTA
2.0 implementation enables this in a much more flexible way than OSGI does
(OSGI is very rigid).

I bet that the secure version of JINI can do this to.


And again, as a group that sits exactly between the Embedded and Enterprise
worlds, I think that this represents an opportunity for us.
