Re: [kura-dev] Cloud-related APIs refactoring

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matteo,

I wanted to point Kura folks to some just-released work:

[1] Adds Remote Services+RSA support to iPOPO...a Python-implemented 
OSGi framework
[2] Adds a distribution provider based upon Py4j that allows both 
Python->Java and Java->Python remote services

The upshot of this is that it allows OSGi Services that are either 
implemented and/or consumed in Python, using standardized service 
properties, and RSA metadata standards (EndpointDescription), with full 
support for service injection (iPOPO in Python, DS in Java). It even 
includes Python-side support for OSGi R7 Remote Services...e.g. async 
remote services [3].

Thanks,

Scott
