[jsr294-modularity-eg] Practical points

[BJ Hargrave]

It was pointed out that there may be some confusion as to whom I represent 
in this expert group. To be clear, I represent IBM. My mention of OSGi and 
Eclipse was to note my experience regarding Java and modularity.

Sorry if I created any confusion.

I am BJ Hargrave and work for IBM. I have been involved with Java for 13 
years and modularity via OSGi for 10 years. I am the chair the OSGi Core 
Platform Expert Group which is responsible for the stewardship of the OSGi 
specifications. I have implemented the OSGi framework specification which 
IBM contributed as the basis for the Eclipse Equinox project which is now 
one of the major open source OSGi implementations. I am also a committer 
on Equinox.

So that Peter doesn't feel so lonely:

I am Richard Hall. I work for Sun's GlassFish team and am the chair of 
the Apache Felix project (implementing the OSGi specs), which is used by 
GlassFish.
