Is the mission of RSP-UI to bridge the gap between OSGi and all of JavaEE?
No. However, RSP certainly has the potential to go beyond web applications, and include other parts of JavaEE, such as Enterprise JavaBeans, applying the same benefits to EARs as WARs. RSP-UI is aware of interest in running relevant JavaEE features under OSGi, and time will tell in what form and by whom those interests may be addressed. As more and more of the Java development spectrum (JavaME-to-JavaEE) is brought into the modular, extensible, RCP-style of definition and architecture, the longer Java’s lifespan will be. Should any questions of project scope arise during the project, RSP-UI will act in accordance with the Eclipse Development Process.
