JIRA-GRails-2221: OSGI and GRails Integration

JIRA-Grails-2221: To implement grails plugin system based on OSGI

I think, for backward compatibility we should not  rerestruct  GRails.

We should develop plugin - grails-osgi-plugin or grails-felix-plugin or grails-equinox-plugin to support OSGi.


Now 1.2-SNAPSHOT will be released, but no OSGi support is avaible.

Should we rerestruct GRails to be wholly different from the old release?

Could we develop a plugin called grails-osgi or grails-felix or grails-equinox? Then we can make grails new release backward compatibility more easily. If we need a plugin depends on OSGi, we can install grails-osgi-plugin or grails-felix-plugin. If we do not need OSGi support, we can use old plugin system.

Modulization and plugins-support is somewhat different.

Any suggestions?

OSGI is just a phase - don't worry about it.

Graeme tweet'd that he had  an app deployed using a single groovy, so I think it is on its way. And didn't Glassfish v3 share Grails instances? (as long as you deployed exploded code)

That might be, but it's going to be a long phase just like the Java phase.

OSGi adds a lot of capabilities and functionality that we've had to hand-roll in the past (automatic
reload/restart via class loader magic, dependency resolution, etc.).  It'd be nice to work with a
standard so we can get the more mature support and future improvements in that area "for free".
