Somewhat silly question I'm sure, but I'm not familiar with the OSGi specification process. When should we expect a Compendium for version 4.3 of the specification?
We are still working on it. Hope to complete the spec work this week and then enter balloting. I expect it would be made public in Jan 2012.

We use the C-Bindings of the Apache Geode Native client (state at #44abff89f65f) in one of our products. Unfortunately, we have discovered that the bindings have recently been deleted from the project.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-10058
Looking for the reason oft the removal we’ve only found a comment stating that „the c-bindings layer itself are now defunct, as they are being replaced by a pure C# client“. Since we are using the C-bindings in a pure C application, we are now wondering how to proceed. Actually, we were hoping that the C-bindings would be extended even further in future.
Does someone know if the development of the C-Bindings has really stopped or if they are going to be part of a standalone software/Git project?
Thanks!
I'm learning REPL for Java 9 and how to utilize it effectively. Considering Java is heavy on the configuration and external dependencies this has made experiments for anything outside the trivial more work to configure than just waiting for a build/run. For instance, to evaluate something more than a trivial line of Java, based on just its runtime, one has to reference an external library as well as its own dependencies. This over-complicates things and perhaps make the point of such a feature moot for real-world scenarios.
Until IDE's integrate REPL and automatically manage/inject dependent libraries, how does one use the feature without the feature becoming more of a burden then the hurdle it was meant to overcome? Please note I'm not looking for conjecture, but methods in which one has worked to accomplish this.
I'm using the Kulla repo here to experiment.
As of October 2015 REPL (project Kulla) is still is not integrated, and Modular JDK, runtime images goes as second alternative download. Once they are all integrated in Dec 2015, there should start work and testing of them together.
As of October 2015 all tutorials suggest starting from building sources:
JDK 9 REPL: Getting Started (Tech Tip #87)
REPL_Tutorial.pdf
JShell and REPL in Java 9
Java9-New-HTTP-2-and-REPL
Is there an "Informatica Powercenter" free/evaluation version available ?
I am asking in context of learning.
Yes, there is the free express version. Go to: https://community.informatica.com/solutions/pcexpress. This is a piece of the complete package, and has the Developers package in small. Also contains a tutorial.
Are the Cobra and Lobo projects dead?

A.
Their SourceForge project hasn't been updated since January 2009. I'd guess yes... which is a pity. It'd be really handy right about now as a java replacement for part of wkhtmltopdf.
What do you think about this build tool? I'm thinking of migrating from maven2 to raven (my poms are getting bigger and bigger), but I'd like to hear some opinions first.
Thanks!
#andre:
Thank's for writing but I was actually looking for real experiences using raven. Anyway, the fact that nobody wrote is an indicator by itself (it seems few people are using it)
I haven't used either Raven or Buildr, but I have heard good things about the latter. In this blog article by Assaf Arkin, there is a nice case study: a 5,443 line, 52 file Maven configuration was reduced to 485 lines of Buildr. And, even though everybody says "Ruby is slow", Buildr was 2-6x faster than Maven.
Also, unlike Raven, Buildr seems to still be maintained: it is currently in the incubator stage as an official Apache project.
pom growth is a problem that everybody faces w/ maven I guess, but maven is at least maintained (2.1. just around the corner) and the raven project looks pretty dead to me. No updates this year and the mailinglist archives are also very small. It looks to me as it's too risky to switch your build process to a tool w/o a living community. Not quite the answer you wanted I guess, but my 2 cents.
I don't know anything about raven.
You should check out plain old rake, which lets you create very powerful tasks.
I've also heard about sake, which is just like rake tasks but system-wide, instead of being only available inside one of your projects.
They may not be specialized for Java, but they sure beat the hell out of plain old bash or (heaven forbid) batch scripts.
