Thanks for the effort.
I am making use of OSGIfied scala in my project and now looking to use Casbah driver. Looking for Casbah OSGI bundles now. Do let me know if you are aware of where i can get them.

That's exactly what I am dreaming of. Well, not every night, but sometimes ;-)

I talked to Miles and Josh and maybe we will attempt to convince the EPFL guys to add this little piece of metadata to the "official" libraries. But there are still some details to figure out ...

Is it worth attempting to get the OSGI manifest info into Scala 2.8? It won't affect anything else, and it would be much better to rely on it as part of the official build.

Just to add something that Heiko didn't explicitly say but I think it important: this does NOT affect you in any way if you are not using or interested in using OSGi.

There is no dependency on the OSGi APIs, there is only a little extra metadata in the MANIFEST.MF files in the JARs. Non-OSGi applications will simply ignore that metadata.

Very cool. As a Scala fan and OSGi user I look forward to see your solution; because either you do like the Eclipse plugin did by putting scala-library into a big bundle or you end up with a more modular approach and different bundles, but applications will depend on many of them (because of Scala.Predef depending on many parts of the scala lib).

Anyway I really think Scala need to support OSGi or Jigsaw (and I'd like OSGi and Jigsaw to play nice ; imo Jigsaw should reuse most of OSGi but provide some language level elements). I have followed your progress on Scala Modules and I hope you succeed with this new project!
