Status update 28-may-2008

First the big news: Osmorc isn’t a one-man-project anymore. Jan Thomä joined me and is currently developing the part of Osmorc that will enable starting OSGI applications from IDEA. The code he already committed into the Subversion repository looks very good and I surmise that it won’t be very long till an OSGI Run Configuration can be created and executed.

I’ve implemented error reporting for Osmorc, so the “Blame OSMORC” button will be enabled in the next release and will make error reporting much easier. Currently I’m working on creating modules for framework instance libraries. This will make it possible to search for classes in the framework instance via CTRL-N. Currently you will only find classes from framework instance bundles that an application bundles depends on. After this is finished you will be able to find any class in any framework instance bundle — no matter whether an application bundle depends on it or not.
