Bindforge

Bindforge (bindforge.org) might be an alternative to Declarative Service, it uses a scala DSL (rather than XML) for configuration.

 The maven example runs after installing these bundles:

[  78] [Active     ] [    5] mvn:bindforge/bindforge-example
[  80] [Active     ] [    5] http://repository.tuxed.de/bindforge/bindforge-core/0.7.2/bindforge-core-0.7.2.jar
[  81] [Active     ] [    5] mvn:org.ops4j/peaberry
[  83] [Active     ] [    5] http://repository.ops4j.org/mvn-snapshots/org/ops4j/peaberry/dependencies/aopalliance/1.0-SNAPSHOT/aopalliance-1.0-20090522.093049-3.jar
[  84] [Active     ] [    5] http://repository.ops4j.org/mvn-snapshots/org/ops4j/peaberry/dependencies/guice/2.0-SNAPSHOT/guice-2.0-20090522.092928-3.jar
[  85] [Active     ] [    5] file:///tmp/peaberry.activation-1.2-SNAPSHOT.jar

the latest was taken from the bindforge downloadable zip.

For now I've not evaluated advantages/disdvantages just gave it a try

Costs of adding it to the platform

these are the sizes of the bundles the distribution contains:

8.0K    aopalliance-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
104K    bindforge-core-0.7.2.jar
668K    guice-2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
92K    pax-logging-api-1.3.0.jar
424K    pax-logging-service-1.3.0.jar
204K    peaberry-1.1.jar
20K    peaberry.activation-1.2-SNAPSHOT.jar
3.6M    scala-library-2.7.5.jar

As most things are already included in the platform, what is need is the following:

 8.0K    aopalliance-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
104K    bindforge-core-0.7.2.jar
668K    guice-2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
204K    peaberry-1.1.jar
20K    peaberry.activation-1.2-SNAPSHOT.jar

giving a grant total of (a bit less than) 1MB
