Dear Rok

Fascinating! Again on the JSR 277 front...

One important observation. I notice that your class loading search order 
prefers a module's own contents to imported classes. The OSGi module 
system, with which JSR 277 must interoperate, has a different search 
order, preferring imported packages to a module's own contents. This isn't 
necessarily a show-stopper for interoperation, but it might have some 
nasty consequences. Some notes on interoperation are available ([1]), but 
the proposed solution is still being worked on in the JSR 277 Expert 
Group.

You may also be interested in a draft formal model ([2]) of OSGi 
modularity, which covers the class loading search order in section 9.

Alex/Andreas: are you going to formally add Rok to the Expert Group, 
should we treat his research as "not a contribution", or what?
