Description

I have a need to have n OBRs available to the ACE provider, one of which will be one or more Apache Archiva repositories. In a previous thread, we discussed that the current ACE implementation of the OBR services are tied to its implementation, so at a minimum the API would need to be split from its implementation (purpose on that thread was a look at reusing the service API to write a new store implementation for Archiva). However, what is the general feeling about looking at using the Felix OBR subproject to expose an "OBR federation" to ACE? Basically with this approach, we would gain some functionality in ACE and remove the need to maintain the local implementation. Also, given Felix's historical ties to RFC 112, ACE would be in a better position to "convert" to the OBR specification once it is ratified by the OSGi group.

Thoughts?
